In the year 2095, a man fleeing justice after stealing an immortality serum finds himself stranded on a lifeless asteroid with no fuel and no hope. Desperate, he reaches for a bottle marked "poison" to end his life—only to discover, too late, that the serum he sought was hidden in plain sight.
Jo wakes from a vivid dream warning her pilot husband of a crash, her visions eerily precise—yet when the moment comes, he lands unharmed. The growing disconnect between her foreboding and his safety leaves her questioning whether the dream was a warning… or something far more unsettling.
Jo and her partner pull off their biggest scam yet—selling a miracle potion called Shrinko—but when the formula starts shrinking entire buildings, not just people, they’re left stunned as the city around them collapses into miniature scale, leaving them the only ones still full size.
In "Charlie's Choice!", Jo stumbles upon a strange power hidden in the factory time clock—twisting its hands lets him slip into a pocket of time where he’s unseen and untouchable. Written by an unknown hand and illustrated by an unknown artist, the story unfolds in just four pages, exploring the quiet, eerie freedom of being invisible to time itself.
In "After Tomorrow," a king grappling with the weight of war discovers a mysterious watch that reveals a grim future of death and plague if he proceeds with his invasion. Torn between ambition and foresight, he chooses a different path—seeking peace through diplomacy instead.
