First Line: The lake was a black velvet-lined jewel box...

Later, Amos looks at the package, postmarked May 15, 2053, and discovers something called a trans-dimensional transporter inside. Thinking it to be some sort of gadget to soup up his hot-rod, Amos installs the device, which allows him to teleport great distances when he hits the accelerator. He then plots to kill his wife and teleport miles away to establish an alibi, but goes to far and ends up on Mars!

Brain-Child!

Story  on  Interior Page(s)
Subject Matter
Genres: science fiction
Character(s): A spaceship (host, death); Colonel Dane (death); un-named General; the Electronic Brain
First Line: There is silence now...
Synopsis: During Earth's war with Venus, Colonel Dane is selected to pilot a brand new spaceship, powered by an electronic brain, which enables this vessel to be a virtual one-man war rocket. While it seems the rocketship could operate itself with no human pilot, the drawback is the ship is void of emotion: it cannot hate, it doesn't know love and it cannot create. The ship begins to develop emotions during its time in space and when Dane is killed by Venusian warships, the ship goes out looking for revenge.

Time For a Change!

Story  on  Interior Page(s)
Subject Matter
Genres: science fiction
First Line: In the old days, they wore coonskin caps and deerskin clothes.
Synopsis: A group of space pilots travel to Pluto. While exploring, they see a huge statue of a reptilian monster. The next day they notice the statue has moved very slightly. Eventually it comes to life and stomps after them. When the men get back to the ship, they realize that because time moves very slowly on the planet due to its orbital rotations, they were moving at an incredibly slow speed before, but have now adjusted to Pluto's orbit. After they escape and get back to Earth, they notice that they are still moving at an incredibly slow speed and people think they are frozen in death.
