Stranger in the Storm
5 pp · fantasy
All Alone
4 pp · science fiction

A human stranded on an alien world awakens to find himself tended by a beautiful nurse named Gini, but struggles to believe she and her people are real or if he's merely hallucinating in his dying moments. As Gini uses unconventional methods to pull him from his delirium, he must come to terms with his new reality and his place among these mysterious beings. This four-page tale from "Astounding Stories" #6 explores isolation, hope, and the bonds that form when survival hangs in the balance.

Conversations in Space
7 pp · science fiction

During a routine orbital mission, Lt. Col. Charles L. Lydon hears an impossible voice from inside his capsule—a being named Duto piloting a nearby scout-craft who warns him of a pressure leak, then reveals his true purpose: to tow the colonel's capsule away from Earth toward a distant planet. Whisked across the galaxy and brought to the planet Lolulala, Lydon discovers an advanced civilization eager to establish peaceful contact and share scientific knowledge with humanity. When his hosts offer him the chance to return home as an ambassador, he jumps at the opportunity to share what he's learned.

Exhibit A
4 pp · science fiction

A captured Earth pilot becomes the unwitting centerpiece of a Didian propaganda rally—until he seizes the moment to turn the tables on his captors and their watching world. When a carefully timed broadcast reaches the Earth fleet waiting in the void, a daring gambit to demoralize the enemy transforms into an all-out assault that shifts the balance of an interplanetary war.

The Possessed!
8 pp · superhero

In "The Possessed!", a mysterious force grips a remote Bavarian village, leaving its inhabitants eerily controlled. When Strange, armed with his Earthly Scanner, detects the disturbance, he uncovers a chilling truth: the possession is no supernatural curse, but the work of alien beings from another dimension. With the help of a young woman and her dog, he races to stop the invaders before they fully breach our world—before sealing the rift for good.

Mama Talks to Television
3 pp · fantasy

A mother confined to her sickroom by a long illness begins talking to her television set—and it talks back. When a mysterious figure named Piro on the screen prescribes her unusual remedies, her family humors what they fear is mental decline, only to witness an impossible physical transformation that defies her doctors' certainty. As her recovery deepens, the line between the television world and her own begins to blur in ways no one could have anticipated.

The Fingerprint
5 pp · science fiction

Joe Mason is a restless commuter trapped in the monotony of his daily grind—until he falls asleep on the subway and wakes to find his train car isolated in a strange fog, surrounded by colossal shapes and incomprehensible voices. What begins as a terrifying encounter with the unknown becomes a strange gift that reshapes how Joe sees his ordinary life.

Destination Nowhere
7 pp · science fiction

Captain John Sears flies with co-pilot Abe Buckmann, a mysteriously capable pilot who seems to possess uncanny knowledge and impossibly sharp instincts—saving their turbocharged jet from disaster multiple times with moves that defy explanation. When Sears pieces together that Buckmann may be something far more than human, he accepts one final flight to get answers, only to discover the truth carries a price that forces an desperate choice at thirty thousand feet. This is a tense science fiction tale about trust, suspicion, and the moment when a routine cargo run becomes anything but routine.

The Return of the Eel!
14 pp · superhero

In "The Return of the Eel!", a former criminal resurfaces after serving time, slipping back into his old identity with unsettling ease. Now working at an aquarium, the man known as The Eel begins a new string of crimes—leaving Johnny, the one who once stopped him, to piece together the mystery before the city falls victim again.

The Sleep Rain
6 pp · science fiction

A mysterious rain begins falling across Earth, and everyone caught outdoors succumbs to an irresistible sleep—leaving the planet defenseless when hostile space-ships close in for attack. Marshal Shields must navigate an impossible negotiation with alien invaders while Earth's sleeping population lies helpless, gambling that cunning might succeed where military force cannot. "The Sleep Rain" is a tense Cold War-era tale of planetary invasion, quick thinking, and turning an enemy's own tactics against them.
