           Ladi  Michael Goldberger 
          Ladi was Jack Onger's imaginary friend. At least that's what his perpetually-arguing parents and the other kids at
          Jack's school thought. Unfortunately, they were wrong. 
          Fun House  J. Alan Brown 
          The barker told Evan Hendrickson that the Fun House — Smilin' Sam's Sudsy Hotel — was a scream. Later,
          Evan's father Matt would discover that sometimes there is truth in advertising … 
          New and Improved 
          Ezra T. Gray 
          The Prometheus implant was the latest thing — guaranteed to make you smarter, faster, stronger, better than steroids, even
          better than gene therapy and 'smart drugs' combined. And it worked! Of course, there were a few effects that weren't in
          the brochure… 
          Time Out 
          E. S. Strout 
          Taking the FTL ship da Vinci through the first wormhole ever discovered was supposed to take Evans and Rundquist
          further and faster than any human had ever traveled — if it didn't kill them. The results were beyond anything they could
          have imagined.

           The Lost Days 
          G. C. Dillon 
          Time is a peculiar thing — in some ways, purely a construct of human consciousness. So when humans change the way they
          reckon time, some people can get lost in the transition. The wizard Megrim hoped to rescue a few — with the help of Tion the
          pixie … 
          Too Much Information 
          Sohrab Koohpaima 
          They say that a little information can be a dangerous thing. But sometimes, too much information in the wrong hands can be much,
          much worse. 
          The Visions of Carlos
          Rivera 
          Brian C. Petroziello 
          Carlos Rivera had been a man of the people. But when the revolution he led was successful, he became a murderous dictator worse
          than the despot he had overthrown. Then the old Mayan priest granted him even more power — a blessing and a
          curse. 
           Enter The Dragon B. H. Marks 
          When one seeks vengeance to the exclusion of all else, one may find in the end that all the best laid plans go awry — if one
          picks the Mare Inebrium as a hunting ground.
