 SurfCity was already the subject of a chapter in "50 Weirdest Cities in America" (thanks to its plethora of ghosts). But
          if Taylor Anglim was right, they'd be able to add alien visitors (or were they invaders?) to the guidebooks.
 EscapeMatthew D. Ryan
 Dreggin Yorr and his companions went into fairy territory in search of friends and comrades who had done likewise — and
          never returned. Now they had a new priority — making it out alive.

          Sturner
 The old homeless man promised him the secrets of the universe — or universes — for five dollars. (The part about it

 Second SuicideTim Britto
 The Valash came to destroy the Earth, because its endlessly violent inhabitants would someday threaten peace in the galaxy. But

          had come to carry out.

 Hroth and his Skraelings had destroyed Ojin's home and killed everyone Ojin loved, obsidian and wood being no match for steel.
          Now, after a lifetime of searching, Ojin had found a legendary weapon forged of metal that had flown through seven stars, a sword
          they said could kill a god.
 VoxIan Cordingley
 To survive in a ruined world, many resorted to upgrading their bodies and brains with implants and interfaces. Of course, there
