The World That Was!
8 pp · science fiction
PetersSimonAlThorik

In 1955, a simple man named Simon stumbles upon a lost wallet in the small town of Miller's Gap, Kansas, and tries to return it—only to be falsely accused of theft by suspicious townspeople who chase him into the night. Meanwhile, far across the cosmos, the alien Thorik and a companion use their atomic telescope to observe Earth for the first time, searching for a new world to colonize, and decide to capture a human specimen to determine whether Earth's inhabitants are worthy of mercy or destruction. As Simon's faith in human kindness crumbles and distant eyes turn toward our world, Kenneth Landau's "The World That Was!" asks what kind of planet we've truly become.

When Time Stood Still!
7 pp · horror-suspense
Howard WyndamCharlesSatan

A workaholic watch manufacturer, Howard Wyndam finds himself caught in a dark irony: despite his fortune built on timepieces, he can't spare a moment for anything beyond the endless grind of business. When he discovers a way to control time itself, his wish to slow down becomes something far more sinister than he bargained for. "When Time Stood Still!" explores what happens when a man gets exactly what he thinks he wants—to his everlasting horror.

The Visitor!
4 pp · horror-suspense

A mysterious visitor bearing an impossible gift—a watch that controls time itself—appears to Wyndam on a suffocating summer night, offering him the power to stretch a mere ten seconds into hours or days. Wyndam tests the device and finds it genuinely works, but the stranger's price for this miraculous mechanism is steep: everything he owns. As Wyndam revels in his newfound command over time, using it to his advantage, he discovers that possessing such power comes with consequences far darker than he ever imagined.

The End of the Line!
6 pp · horror-suspense
ManuelChico

A man adrift in the Gulf of Mexico clings to life in an open boat with nothing but desperation and a dead fish, haunted by the memory of Manuel and Chico—the crew members he left behind when he scuttled the ship. "The End of the Line!" strips away any illusions of a clean escape as thirst, hunger, and the merciless sea conspire to teach a harsh lesson about the cost of betrayal.
