Have you ever wished you just had a little more time? Or perhaps the ability to go back in time—just a bit—to fix something you did wrong, make a different decision about which line to get in at the grocery store, or whether or not to eat that leftover bagel at work.
Meet Edward, the perfect example of the absent-minded professor, whose brilliance as a theoretical physicist can unlock the secrets of time and space, but the simple act of getting ready for his nephew’s birthday party becomes a challenge of epic proportions.

Why some people are better at certain things than others, how memories work, what’s going on when we dream.
But the biggest question is, “What happens when we die?”
Some people believe our consciousness survives, that the thoughts and memories that defined who we were in life continue to exist in another form and move on.
And sometimes, they stick around.

Insurance is something we all need, but hate having to pay for. We have insurance for our cars, our homes, our health and our lives. Most of the time, you look at the big numbers, what the premium is and what the payouts would be.
No one ever reads the fine print.
But maybe you should. Because there just might be something tucked away in those pages of legalese that could be the difference between life and death.
"Total Loss" first appeared in the pages of Analog: Science Fiction and Fact in July of 2006 and was voted by the readers as one of the favorite short stories of the year. You can discover more by James Hosek at https://JamesHosek.com.

It seems like everything these days is getting bigger and bigger. Big box stores, huge amusement parks, enormous shopping malls. Everyone wants to be the world's largest something.
But at some point, the novelty of it all can become more of a problem than a convenience. Especially if you happen to forget your wallet while visiting the world's largest rest stop.

There's a jar in Rodney's cupboard. One that's been there for as long as he can remember. No one will tell him what's inside, only that it must never be opened. A warning passed on through the generations in his family.
Perhaps there's a good reason not to. It could just be an old jar filled with jam that turned bad decades ago. But maybe it's something more sinister. Something best left undisturbed.

Do you believe in ghosts? Have you ever had the feeling that there was someone else in the room when you were completely alone. Or maybe as you moved from room to room, you felt a chill, a hand touching your shoulder when there was no one there.
Strange things are happening in the Morgan house, and Oscar’s wife is certain it’s ghosts, but will she be able to convince Oscar who knows there's no such thing?

Simulation theory holds that it is likely—even certain—that our universe is not real. That we only exist only as code running on some alien supercomputer, and everything we do or think is just a product of algorithms and subroutines.
Max Fathom believes this to be true. And furthermore, he has devised various hacks to exploit flaws and bugs in that code to benefit himself and his friends. One of those hacks is … The Polymorphic Puppy Paradigm.

Everyone has seen a magician or mentalist on stage or on TV, completely flabbergasted by his performance and said to themselves, “How in the world did he do that?”
We all know, of course, that it’s just a trick. Slight of hand. The art of suggestion.
But what if it isn’t? What if just maybe, sometimes, it’s real.

The line between truth and fiction can sometimes be a very fine one. Imagine reading a story in a book you picked up off the rack in an out of the way gas station and discover that many of the details echo events in your own life.
Such a thing is not only possible, but likely, at the Owl Eyes Motel. A mysterious little establishment with a quirky proprietor, where there’s always room for the dead.

Everyone knows what a Joker is in a deck of cards. Originally, there was only one used in the game, Euchre. Later, the second Joker was added and employed as a wild card in poker.
But did you know there’s a third joker found in French decks and used in the game German Rummy? Like in poker, it can stand in for any other card. Imagine if you had that power. To be a human wild card. Whose place would you take?

Some people love Halloween. The costumes, the candy, children parading to your front door begging for treats.
Harrison Hardigan is not one of those people.
But given the chance to change, would he?
A wedding night is supposed to be a happy occasion, a time to celebrate the joining of two lives. A beginning of something special. But if your honeymoon starts out in a strange little motel managed by an obsequious little man who is a little too attentive, make sure the name illuminated in neon on the outside is NOT the Owl Eyes Motel.
This week, Barbara Avon takes you once more into the world between life and death, a place where behind each door, lies and truth collide, and where there’s always room for the dead.
