The Fingerprint

Joe Mason is a restless commuter trapped in the monotony of everyday life, yearning for anything to break the routine—until he falls asleep on the subway and awakens in a fog-shrouded car that seems to have separated from all others. Strange, enormous shapes loom in the mist around him, and he hears voices speaking of a dimensional miscalculation, just before a colossal finger touches the platform. When Joe jolts awake at the end of the line, he's left wondering whether the surreal encounter was merely a dream—though a detail on the platform suggests otherwise.

Emergency Landing

At Last My Eyes Have Opened
6 pp · science fiction

A wealthy man from the twentieth century uses a suspended animation pill to sleep three hundred years into the future, betting everything on a geneticist's prediction that Martha's female descendant will be the epitome of human perfection—worth abandoning his present love to wait for.

It Could Be Dangerous
2 pp · science fiction

A young boy builds a homemade microscope from spare lenses, but when he peers through it at tiny organisms, he unknowingly creates a dangerous magnifying effect—one that nearly turns deadly when sunlight strikes the device.

Now racing homeward with his extraordinary cargo, he must confront an urgent question: after so many years away, will he arrive in time to deliver this gift to a world on the brink of destruction?
