☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeAn anthology of supernatural tales featuring multiple stories. "Wild Power" depicts a godlike entity with immense capabilities observing humanity. "I Am You John" follows a man named Henry who encounters a mysterious figure claiming to be him and grants his wishes, leading Henry and his wife Martha to realize that obtaining everything they desire has rendered their lives meaningless, ultimately prompting Henry to wish to return to their simple home. Additional stories shown include one involving a wishing ball that travels across farmland, granting wishes to those who find it, resulting in the discovery that unfulfilled desires hold more value than their realization.
In "If This Be Earth," a weary astronaut crew touches down on what they believe to be their long-lost home—only to discover the planet is not Earth at all, but a meticulously crafted replica built by alien admirers. The familiar landscape feels too perfect, too quiet, as the crew grapples with the unsettling truth that their return may be part of a grand, unseen performance.
In "Worthless World," Earthmen arrive on Venus expecting riches, only to find a planet stripped of resources—until they depart, and the Venusians reveal their hidden cities and true world. The story quietly unfolds a profound contrast between exploitation and preservation, leaving the cost of discovery in question.
