- Harley is tied down in the most comfortable chair he ever sat in. On a ledge above him is a monster and before him an open book. Harley tries to remember how he got there. Too afraid to look at the monster, he reluctantly reads the book. When done, an alien frees him from the chair and talks to him about the afterlife.
In case there have been too many aliens, here are two bonus stories about time travel.
- Matthew takes a time drug as a retirement gift to himself. He relives the trip seventy years ago when he escaped his family for academia. Enjoying the experience, he does not believe in time travel until he realizes he must escape again.

An author of dystopian novels, she meets the scientist she collaborated with on her most popular novel about time travel.
