# Strange Suspense Stories #29 This issue is an anthology containing at least two stories. The first story depicts a man tormented by conscience after a week of indecision, culminating in a desperate late-night drive where he attempts to recover a forgotten pass key to the bank, only to be stopped by a traffic light—a moment of suspenseful irony. "Omar" features a contentious school board meeting where parents demand the firing of a history teacher accused of using an invisible friend named Omar to manipulate students; the situation escalates when a mysterious man appears claiming Omar as his invisible companion, leading to romantic complications and supernatural implications. A third story, "The Ridley Circus," shows a traveling circus that arrives in town after a three-week absence with a suspiciously reduced staff and a single elephant as its only animal attraction.
