"Journey Through Time" follows scientists in the year 1999 who have successfully developed a time machine capable of sending a man back through time. When they travel back centuries, they encounter an alien race known as the Brain People from the planet Thought, who reveal themselves to be vastly superior in mental capacity to humans and warn that they intend to take over Earth. The Brain People explain that their knowledge is so advanced that each of their individual minds equals the computational power of Earth's electronic computers, and they give the humans a demonstration of their capabilities via a device called a Sonocab that operates on radio waves.

Time Dimension
6 pp · Science Fiction
Captain Bob Ellis

Captain Bob Ellis, an experimental space pilot, volunteers to test a revolutionary time-shift machine designed to traverse vast distances by skipping through time itself. When he activates the device during his maiden flight, something goes terribly wrong—and Ellis finds himself not orbiting Mars, but crash-landing in a primeval jungle teeming with prehistoric creatures. As he struggles to understand where—or rather, *when*—he's ended up, Ellis must find a way to escape before the time-shift's effects trap him permanently.

The Turkish Urn
7 pp · Fantasy

Nick and Rhea Anjopolis, a struggling antique shop owner and his wife, acquire a mysterious Turkish urn from a desperate customer—only to discover it houses a genie bound to grant them three wishes. After using their first two wishes to secure financial security and save Rhea from a grave illness, the couple faces a fateful decision about how to use their final, most precious wish. A touching tale about desire, devotion, and the true nature of what we truly need.

In 1964, Dr. Nolan Conrad completes humanity's greatest achievement—a working time machine—and volunteers for the inaugural test journey through time. But when the machine misfires and catapults him forward instead of backward, Conrad finds himself witnessing a shocking tragedy at a future performance, forcing him to race against the clock to prevent history from repeating itself. With only hours before the prophesied moment arrives, Conrad and his assistant Reed must convince someone in power that the unthinkable is about to happen.

Medulla reveals an ultimatum: Earth's two superpowers must achieve total peace, or the Brain People will claim the planet for themselves. With the fate of humanity hanging in the balance, the rival leaders must confront not just an extraterrestrial threat, but the possibility that their own world's survival depends on ending their endless conflict.
