Some Burial Place, Vast and Dry: The lonely survivor of a long-ago space mission receives a visit from a hauntingly familiar UFO.

Keepsakes: PI. Koko Tate pays his mom a visit on Mother’s Day.
Too Short A Death: A modern-day poet meets the long-deceased Weldon Kees's greatest literary creation.
Eater: The cops at an off-the-beaten-track late-night precinct house have got more than they bargained for in one of the cells.
Sitting Pretty: An armchair fashioned out of the wood from the original cross provides a comfort of sorts down the ages.
Dark Times: Two old men tamper with the dark arts and open a gateway that threatens the destructions of the world.
