  Danny adores his old TV. It’s rusty, outdated, and beyond his control—but it has been his loyal companion for years. He’s spent countless hours immersed in its endless stream of entertainment, from lighthearted comedies to gripping documentaries. Yet, there’s one thing he can’t stand: the horror films. 
  They creep onto his screen when he least expects them, playing relentlessly during his moments of relaxation. He can’t change the channel. He can’t turn them off. All he can do is endure. As much as these films terrify him, Danny remains paralyzed by an even greater fear—the unknown. The idea of replacing his TV, of stepping outside his comfort zone, feels more terrifying than the nightmares playing before his eyes. 
  Why does he cling to what torments him? Can he ever break free from this eerie cycle, or will he remain a prisoner of his own fears? 
  A haunting and thought-provoking psychological short story, The TV That Owned Danny explores the human tendency to hold on to what is familiar, even when it brings us suffering. If you love suspenseful, mind-bending tales that make you question reality, this audio book is for you. 
  Are you ready to step into Danny’s world?

  Time For Survival by George O. Smith 
  The storm ruined my plan. 
  Not by seasickness. I'd come prepared for the worst, knowing how rough it could get on a sailing ship of the Nineteenth Century. I outrode the storm easily, stowed away in the hold. Not even the breakage of some of the 1700 barrels of alcohol carried as a cargo bothered me although the stench was terrific. 
  But on the morning of 25 November 1872, the first mate, Albert Richardson sent the second mate, Andrew Gilling below with two of the German seamen to assay the storm damage. They found me and I was hauled aloft before Captain Briggs as a stowaway. 
  Captain Briggs of the Mary Celeste eyed my strange clothing with deep curiosity, but his interest was obviously more concerned with my unauthorized presence. He said sternly, "When did you get aboard?" 
  I realized that I had to impress him. I smiled. "You delayed your sailing from the Fifth November to the Sixth so that you and Mrs. Briggs could have dinner aboard Die Gratia with Captain Morehouse," I said. 
  "How can you know so much?" he exclaimed. "How can you live as a stowaway for almost twenty days?" 
  I held up my chronithon contactor, knowing that now I could impress him indeed. "Captain Briggs," I said, "I am a time-travelling historian from the Twenty-Second Century." I pointed to the big red button on the top. "Until I depress this button and return to my own day and age, every morning I receive my daily ration of food and water. It's about—" 
  I'd timed it close. I was interrupted by the click of the chronithon as it time-transferred my daily ration. I opened the cabinet and offered a bite of twenty-second century breakfast to the captain.

  LIGHTS … CAMERA … GIDDYAP? 
   
  Billy is a Norwegian Fjord horse—short as horses go, but with the natural star power of a Hollywood celebrity. Lori Allegria is a horse-loving seventh grader as awkward as she is tall for her age, who finds refuge from her shyness on her family farm with her best friend: Billy, the Fjord. 
   
  Their peace is shattered when Billy is “discovered” by Marlowe Narang, superstar kid actor, and given the opportunity of a horsey lifetime—to star in a film! And with that, the chance for Lori and her mom to save their struggling stables. Lori tearfully agrees to send her horse to a new  
  life across the country on the set of Marlowe’s newest Hollywood production, a Western set in a real ghost town. 
   
  But Billy’s star turn is cut short when a mountain lion stalks the desert set and sends him fleeing into the Mojave. When word gets back to Lori, she runs away too—to find her Billy! Lost in the vast desert, as horse and girl make their way to each other, Lori and Billy both find they are not alone. 
   
  The Star Horse is a story about finding your herd—human and horse—and along the way, finding your voice.
