Stories

  • Asylum · 5 pages

    For thousands of years, an advanced planet had committed horribly insane people to a far-distant planet. But this time a mission is turned back by the now highly-advanced civilization on this distant planet: the planet Earth!

  • First Man on the Moon · 2 pages
  • Supreme Penalty · 5 pages
  • Disc Jockey · 5 pages

    Sam Webb is a radio station owner and a very unpopular disc jockey who will not take himself off the air. He's so bad that Martians, out of frustration, arrive and forcibly remove him from his post.

  • So You Want to Go to the Moon · 1.5 pages
  • The Invasion · 5 pages

    A couple watch a TV news broadcast chronicling an alien invasion and are terrified when Earth's military forces are quickly defeated. Fearing for their lives, they pack and literally run for the hills. They don't hear the news announcer then reveal that the invasion broadcast was an "original tele-screen drama entitled The Invasion From Mars!".
