On Christmas Eve 1925, the ruthless and wealthy Benjamin Sprague encounters a mysterious old tramp on the Bowery who bears an unsettling resemblance to him—claiming to be his soul, urging him to change his cruel ways. Cast out into the streets and stripped of his identity, Sprague spends years learning compassion among the destitute, only to wake and find himself restored to his former life with a choice before him. This haunting tale explores whether a man can truly transform when given a second chance to know better.

Death x 2 = 0
7 pp · science fiction

In this 1954 sci-fi thriller, ruthless gang leader Bull Manton eliminates his partners one by one to keep the entire bank robbery haul for himself—until a freak electrical accident creates an impossible problem: an exact duplicate of himself. With two versions of the same greedy criminal now facing off over the loot, neither can trust the other, and both are convinced the only solution is murder.

The Shadow on the Screen
5 pp · science fiction

When Henry Parker stumbles upon a mysterious television signal showing scenes of the future, he seizes the opportunity to turn his foresight into wealth and power—betting on sporting events, stock tips, and business deals with uncanny accuracy. But his newfound advantage grows complicated when a strange, beckoning figure appears on the screen, luring him toward a meeting that promises answers. As Henry's obsession deepens, he discovers that some secrets extracted from the future come with a price far steeper than he imagined.

Space Age Glass
1 pp · non-fiction; science fiction

In this 1954 science-fiction feature, modern glass technology transforms into the ideal material for a futuristic Martian explorer's suit, offering bulletproof protection, efficient insulation against extreme temperatures, and specialized polarized lenses to shield against harsh planetary light. As an adventurer discovers firsthand, the suit's ingenious design—including strategically weakened sections for easy oxygen tank disposal—proves its worth when facing both environmental hazards and hostile forces, though an unexpected frozen coating reveals one challenge the engineers didn't quite anticipate.
