In a stark clinic bathed in clinical light, a raving man is brought in by two white-coated attendants, his eyes wild with madness. The unnamed doctor administers a calm, then attaches a diathermy machine to the man’s head—only to cure him, leaving behind a strange burn mark on his forehead, one that echoes a mystery the doctor can’t explain.

In "My World," the narrator reveals a mind capable of conjuring entire realities—scenes of alien encounters, human triumphs, and the full spectrum of life and death—each one a testament to imagination’s power. The story unfolds as a surreal tour through infinite possibilities, all rendered with the unmistakable hand of Wally Wood.

In "Outcast of the Stars," a devoted father dreams of sharing the vast beauty of the cosmos with his children, though he can’t afford a real rocket. With only a broken prototype and his imagination, he crafts a dazzling illusion of flight—just to give them a moment of wonder.
