In 2095, a man who stole an immortality serum finds himself stranded on a lifeless asteroid after his escape ship runs out of fuel.

In "The Last Warning!" from *Secrets of the Unknown* #105, Jo wakes from a vivid dream predicting her pilot husband’s fatal crash—details that eerily mirror his flight, yet he returns unharmed. The growing tension between her foreboding and his safe return leaves her questioning whether the vision was a warning or a test of faith.
Jo and her partner pull off their latest scam with a bottle labeled "Shrinko," selling it to anyone who'll listen—until the spray actually works, shrinking not just people but entire buildings. Now, as the city empties around them, Jo and her partner stand alone, the only ones still full-sized in a world gone small.
In "Charlie's Choice!", Jo, a quiet factory worker, stumbles upon a strange power: turning the hands of the time clock doesn’t just track hours—it opens a door to a hidden time dimension, where he’s unseen and untethered from the world he knows. The story explores the quiet thrill and eerie freedom of slipping between moments, where every second holds a secret only he can witness.
In "After Tomorrow," a king torn between ambition and foresight discovers a mysterious watch that reveals the grim fate of an impending war—only death and plague in its wake. With the future laid bare, he must choose between conquest and a fragile hope for peace.
