Uncanny Tales #151

In "The Secret of Sagattus!", a kingdom's fate rests on the whispered counsel of a hunchback, whose wisdom earns the envy of the nobility. When the hunchback is slain, the court's deception unravels—revealing the king to be a hollow mannequin, and the true ruler long hidden in plain sight.

In the quiet aftermath of a crash, Lt Don Allison wakes adrift in a rubber boat, only to be pulled aboard a destroyer—only to find himself recounting a story that defies time. The Doctor and Nurse who treated him on the Hospital Ship Dakota are long gone, and now the Destroyer Commander tells him the ship was sunk two months prior. How could Allison have been on board, with fresh bandages and medical care, if the ship never existed in his timeline?
