The twist? The explosion reanimated a fossil into a living dinosaur, reshaping their world in ways neither man could foresee. Art by Al Eadeh, with cover by Dick Giordano, this 1987 Alan Class classic blends sci-fi intrigue with a time-bent mystery.
In "Someone is in the Trunk," a thief hiding out in a rooming house finds himself unsettled when his new roommate, a psychologist, sets a quiet trap—placing a mirror in the bottom of a trunk, its surface reflecting not the darkness within, but the thief’s own guilty face. The story unfolds with a creeping tension, as the mirror becomes a haunting echo of the man’s past, blurring the line between paranoia and reality.
In the dire final hours before a rogue planet obliterates Canopus Minor, the desperate race to save their world forces Sfeen to devise a radical solution: shrinking the entire population to miniature size so all twelve survivors can fit aboard the escape craft. With time running out and no room for error, the fate of an entire civilization hinges on a single, untested experiment in scale and survival.
