Something's Down There
There was only one rule: don’t open the door. Narrator: Nobody believed the stories about what happened. But they know that something did happen. Something was alive down there. Something was waiting to get out. We all knew that as long as that door remained closed, we were all safe. There was only one problem. The new guy never heard the stories.

Behind the Grey Door
"There was only one rule: don’t open the door.” With those words my first night at my new job began. I was paid $75 an hour by the Chicago Institute of Scientific Advancement. Working in the sub-basement, my only job was to guard the grey door.

A Letter to Mighty Man
Dear Mighty Man Or do you just use Brandon now? You probably don’t remember me, seeing that it’s been a long time. My name is Avery Weakman. You saved my life a number of times. Of course, you’re thinking that you saved a whole lot of people. I was the one you had to come back to for the most.

What's in a Name
I realize that you don’t know me. My name is Alfred Griffen. Well, that’s not my real name. They told me not to tell anyone my real name. They said that it would be safer if people didn’t know who I really am. Of course, you don’t know who “they” are. It doesn't make a difference anyway. They told me not to tell anyone who they are, either. In my line of work, secrecy is very important. It’s not really work. I’m not being paid. It’s just the right thing to do.

That's Why I'm Late
Let me start off by saying that it’s not my fault. I mean, I know it looks bad but let me explain. At some point in the middle of the night the storm knocked out the lights. This was a huge storm. Normally, I can sleep through a storm. This one woke me up. The explosion when lightening struck the house was massive. The house was lit up like it was daytime, although it was midnight. I got out of the bed to make sure everything was ok. You know, sometimes when it rains very hard, the roof leaks in the corner of the dining room. I didn’t see any water there, but I placed a bucket under it anyway. I don’t even remember going back to bed.

One Dollar
Have you ever heard anyone say that they were having one of those days. I can promise you that nobody has ever had one of those days that I had. I only had $2111 to my name. I just paid all of my bills. The mortgage was $1125. My light bill was $155. My gas bill was $105. My water bill was $75. I also had to pay $372 for my child’s medical bills. That did not include the $5 I had to pay for her prescription. After adding tax, the total amount of everything came out to $2112.55.

Mindshift
James was never the type that believed in wishing upon a falling star. But this one fell right in his backyard. He was looking out his bedroom window when it hit. His parents had already set the alarm, so he had to wait until morning to look for it. He searched for nearly an hour, but then there it was, as clear as day. As he reached for it, it started to glow for a moment. He showed it to his mother, but she believed that it was only a rock. She would have told him to throw it away, but she had a pet rock when she was a child.
