"Test Pilot!" delivers a pulse-pounding journey through the unknown, where survival depends on quick thinking and courage.

In "Rude Awakening!", a man haunted by guilt over embezzlement spirals into a nightmare where he believes he’s been framed—so he acts to stop the imagined threat. But when the dream turns to reality, he wakes to face a sentence for a crime he didn’t commit, trapped in a truth that’s far more twisted than his guilt.

In "Child's Play!", a wealthy man insists a scientist build him a robotic toy for his son, ignoring the scientist’s warnings. When the machine goes dangerously awry, threatening to burn down the house, the man is forced to confront the consequences of his recklessness.
