The Creeping Menace
6 pp · science fiction

Professor Claude Bolton's theory that insects evolve beyond the butterfly stage sends him racing to prove it—but when his growth ray accelerates a caterpillar's metamorphosis far beyond his calculations, he unleashes a rapidly expanding creature that quickly spirals beyond his control. As the giant insect progresses through its life cycle at impossible speed, Bolton and his daughter must reckon with the consequences of pushing nature too far. A tense race against an ever-growing menace explores what happens when scientific ambition outpaces caution.

Double Exposure
5 pp · science fiction

David Blane, a tired newspaper reporter seeking rest at his seaside cottage, witnesses a ghostly figure working on something mysterious—only to have the apparition vanish before his eyes. Meanwhile, across an unseen dimensional boundary, a being named Vantro experiences the same inexplicable phenomenon from the other side. When both attempt to make contact again, they find themselves forever separated by the quirk of interdimensional existence.

The Incredible Walking Stick
6 pp · fantasy

When Mr. Alvin Johnson limps into an antique shop looking for a walking stick to ease his sprained ankle, he finds far more than he bargained for—a cane with impossible powers that can fell trees and crumble buildings with a single swing. As Alvin marvels at his mysterious purchase, the shop's proprietor realizes a terrible mistake has been made and races to recover the artifact before its true nature is discovered. This tale weaves together present-day mishap and ancient legend in a story that reminds us some treasures are too powerful to remain in the wrong hands.
