The Man from Mars
10 pp · science fiction

Phil Cabot, a small-town reporter from Mars, Ohio, is unexpectedly reunited with an old friend—a pilot named Jack Harley—who drops in for a surprise visit and insists on taking him up for a quick spin in his new plane. As they soar over the quiet countryside, something strange and inexplicable begins to unfold, setting in motion a chain of events that will alter the fate of mankind itself. What starts as a casual reunion between old friends becomes the catalyst for the strangest story ever to hit the planet.

He Talked to Green Men
3 pp · science fiction

Gus Henley claims to chat regularly with little green men from Mars—three-foot-tall creatures with knobs on their heads and a single eye—and insists they won't conquer Earth as everyone fears. When concerned neighbors report him to the authorities and a mysterious green fire erupts in his backyard, police move in with an arrest warrant, only to discover that Gus has other plans entirely. This 1961 sci-fi tale plays the earnest paranoia of the era against an unexpected twist that reframes everything you thought you knew.

To Live Again
10 pp · science fiction

Dr. Burtram Hoff, now an aging scientist, clutches a bottle he believes holds the secret to youth and renewal—a formula he stumbled upon decades ago and has spent his life trying to perfect. Haunted by the youthful dreams he and his wife Ella abandoned when he chose obsessive research over the carefree life they'd promised each other, he stands on the brink of finally reclaiming what time has taken from them. With the serum seemingly complete at last, Hoff faces the question of whether restoring youth can restore what the years have stolen between them.
