In "Saucer-itis," a man’s strange behavior—rambling about flying saucers to anyone who’ll listen—has everyone convinced he’s lost his mind. But his outlandish claims might be the very thing keeping the truth hidden, as he plays the part of a madman to protect a secret that could change everything.

The Strange One
2 pp · Science Fiction

In "The Strange One," a lone man stumbles ashore on an isolated island, only to discover the ruins of a once-great city frozen in time. As he explores the silent, overgrown streets, he hears whispers and voices that seem to come from nowhere—fleeing in terror, he doesn’t realize the city’s inhabitants are there all along, unseen and unheard.
