Creepy Worlds #83

In "I Lived a Million Years!", a desperate Asian tyrant sacrifices his people to construct a suspended animation machine, hoping to outlast an impending nuclear war. When he awakens after a million years, he finds Earth abandoned and humanity reduced to scattered, primitive tribes—forced to survive in a world that no longer remembers him.

In "I Travelled Thru Time!!," a foreign spy leaps through time to escape capture, only to wake in the 18th century—where he’s inexplicably become Benedict Arnold, facing a fate far darker than his own. The twist isn’t just in the past he’s landed in, but in the identity he can’t shake.

In "I Fought the Tyrannosaurus," a vacationing couple in Africa stumbles upon a mysterious dinosaur egg that hatches into a living tyrannosaur, unleashing chaos among the local villagers. As the creature's presence threatens the community, the couple must confront the danger head-on—before the wilds claim them all.

When a reckless space explorer drags his cautious partner and crew into an uncharted world, they vanish without a trace—only to be found imprisoned by sentient trees. Left behind, the more wary of the two must navigate the alien forest to bring them back.

In "Beware of the...Robots!", a man’s fiery essays against factory automation take on a life of their own—until he discovers the robot that replaced him might have been his unexpected muse. Written with sharp wit and quiet revelation, the story follows his journey from resentment to a surprising understanding of what it means to be replaced, and why it might have been a gift.
