Spellbound #46

In "Uncle Gideon's Gold," a young man's desperate greed leads him to threaten his elderly uncle, demanding the combination to a safe built above a furnace. When the old man finally relents, the nephew’s betrayal is swift—but the true horror begins when the molten gold, meant to be his prize, swallows him whole.

In "The Man Who Isn't There," a desperate thief steals an invisibility cloak and uses it to vanish into the shadows, slipping through the city’s underbelly to steal with reckless abandon. When his landlady arrives with police, he narrowly escapes detection—only to find himself trapped as the building is sealed and fumigated, leaving him unseen but utterly cornered.
