In "No Place to Hide!" from *Forbidden Worlds* #65 (1958), Charles Weldon, a long-time employee who’s felt underappreciated, finally takes matters into his own hands—only to find every escape from his office, from town, even from the airport, mysteriously blocked by an eerie mist. As he’s forced back to the same spot again and again, the line between desperation and fate blurs, until a surprising turn of events leaves him reconsidering everything.

In the haunting one-page tale "What's the Answer?" from *Forbidden Worlds* #65 (1958), wounded pilot Lt.

Though he bears fresh bandages from expert medical care, the timeline defies logic, and no one can say how he was ever on the ship that never existed.
