  The Dwindling Years - The Man...

  Arthur Giles has spent nearly two centuries helping guide humanity into an age where old age is little more than an inconvenience. Earth has become careful, patient, and almost immovable. People no longer rush into danger when eternity stretches ahead of them, and every decision is weighed against centuries yet to come. But when Giles begins to notice strange exhaustion, pain in his chest, and impossible strands of gray hair, the certainty that shaped his entire life starts slipping away. 
  At the same time, Exodus Corporation finally proves that faster-than-light travel may actually work. A tiny test missile has crossed the stars and returned, opening the door to worlds that Earth can barely imagine. Yet no one is willing to risk a human life on the first real voyage. In a society built around avoiding danger, courage has become almost obsolete. Then Giles receives a message from the son he has not seen in decades, living among grandchildren he barely knows on a distant colony world. Suddenly the future no longer feels endless, and thirty years becomes something precious enough to fight for. 
  The Dwindling Years is one of Lester del Rey’s most emotionally powerful stories. Instead of focusing on gadgets or battles, it examines what happens when immortality turns caution into paralysis. Del Rey balances futuristic ideas with deeply human fears, building toward a decision that feels both heartbreaking and hopeful. The result is a story that still feels startlingly modern decades after publication. 
  Lester del Rey published widely in Astounding Science Fiction, Galaxy, and Fantasy & Science Fiction, becoming one of the defining voices of twentieth-century science fiction. He wrote classics such as Helen O’Loy, Nerves, and Badge of Infamy, and later became equally influential as an editor through Del Rey Books. The Dwindling Years remains one of his most memorable explorations of aging, risk, and what gives meaning to the years we have left.

  Henry was a young hippopotamus who was growing up in a big thunder of family, friends, and foes, and within their homeland by the water there was always some competition within the herds. When the annual Tree Trunk shove is nearly ready to roll, Henry gets his local hippos together to train them for the big day… to turn them into a team of hippos rather than just a gathering of individual hippos! A champion team rather than a team of champions! Some of the hippos didn't want to train, didn't want to be in a team, or didn't want to be in the shove, but Henry had other ideas. Did Henry show his friends and family just how important team spirit is, and was it enough then to win the 100th Tree Trunk shove?

  The Big Tick - A Countdown No...

  Ross Rocklynne

  What if time didn’t pass quietly, but announced itself with a warning meant only for you? In The Big Tick, an ordinary object becomes a relentless reminder that every moment carries weight, and that belief can be as dangerous as fate itself. This is a tightly wound psychological science fiction story where dread grows not from monsters or machines, but from the mind’s need to impose meaning on coincidence. As certainty tightens its grip, reason erodes, and survival becomes a battle against patterns that seem impossible to escape. 
  Ross Rocklynne’s story explores obsession, guilt, and the terrifying possibility that knowing too much about your future might destroy your present. The tension builds through atmosphere and inevitability rather than spectacle, creating a sense of quiet panic that lingers long after the final moment. The Big Tick is vintage science fiction at its most intimate, unsettling, and psychologically sharp. 
  Ross Rocklynne was an American science fiction writer known for stories that fused speculative ideas with emotional and psychological depth. Writing during the Golden Age of science fiction, he frequently examined how ordinary people respond to extraordinary pressures. The Big Tick stands as one of his most enduring works, remembered for its eerie restraint and its exploration of time, guilt, and self-destruction.

  A lovely Indian fairytale from Andrew Lang's Olive Fairy Book.  
  An old woman, impoverished and hungry, sets out for the river to fish and wash herself. After coming out of the river, she discovers a venomous snake in her cooking pot. Hoping for an end to her misery, she takes it home, allowing it to bite her. However, when she opens the pot, instead of a snake, she finds a valuable necklace. She sells this necklace to the king, who places it in a chest. Shortly after, when the king opens the chest to show the queen, he is surprised to find a baby boy inside. The king and his wife decide to raise the boy as their son, and the old woman becomes his nurse, sharing the story of how the boy came to be in their care. The king eventually makes an agreement with a neighboring king that their children should marry. However, before the other king’s daughter marries, her mother cautions her to inquire about the boy's magical origins. The princess refuses to speak until the prince reveals his past: he had once been a prince in a faraway land who was transformed into a snake and later reverted to his original form. The princess mourns for the prince, lamenting his disappearance. The snake visits her and advises that if she places bowls of milk and sugar in the four corners of her room, many snakes will arrive, led by their Queen. If she stands in the way of the Queen, she can request her husband back; but if she is frightened and does not comply, she will lose him forever.
