“6 of Me on the Prowl”

In "6 of Me on the Prowl," businessman Arthur Matlin stumbles upon a magic sundial that calls forth Chronos, the spirit of time, granting him the power to leap forward hours into the future. With this gift, Matlin commits crimes with eerie precision—only to face a chilling fate when the sundial is destroyed and he’s left stranded in the future, forever out of reach of the present.
