If you're not inclined, or just don't want to spend hours reading a story to see how it ends, here is my quick read series of short stories, each of which can be read in less than two hours.

The first tale is about a giant rogue planet that poses a threat to Earth. Meanwhile, the mythical and elusive Planet X is discovered, but not recognized as the savior of all humankind.

Story two is about a time in the year of 2055 and when a successful gold mining operation has been set up on the Moon. When a nearly impenetrable metal plate is discovered, and when a way around it is sought, a technologically advanced alien species is provoked into defending their, thousands of years, old, operation.

Story three tells of a monster whose reign of terror began months ago. Now known as, Hatchet Man, his ghoulish cravings become the instruments of his demise.
