  Inside the Comet by Arthur C. Clarke - When George was given the chance to board the Challenger and chase after the most spectacular sight ever to appear in the heavens he could hardly believe his luck, but be careful what you wish for. 
  “I don't know why I'm recording this,” said George Takeo Pickett slowly into the hovering microphone. “There's no chance that anyone will ever hear it. They say the comet will bring us back to the neighborhood of Earth in about two million years, when it makes its next turn around the Sun. I wonder if mankind will still be in existence then, and whether the comet will put on as good a display for our descendants as it did for us?

  Prison of a Billion Years by	C.H. Thames - Adam Slade was a man who had nothing to lose by making a break for it. The trouble was, he knew that no one had ever escaped from the—Prison of a Billion Years 
  Adam Slade crushed the guard's skull with a two foot length of iron pipe. No one ever knew where Slade got the iron pipe, but it did not seem so important. 
  The guard was dead. That was important. 
  And Slade was on the loose. With a hostage. 
  That was even more important. 
  The hostage's name was Marcia Lawrence. She was twenty-two years old and pretty and scared half out of her wits. She was, before she became a hostage, a reporter for Interplanetary Video. She had been granted the final pre-execution interview with Adam Slade and she had looked forward to it a long time but it had not worked out as planned. 
  It had not worked out as planned because Slade, only hours from the execution chamber with absolutely nothing to lose, had splattered the guard's brains around the inside of his cell and marched outside with a frightened Marcia Lawrence. 
  Outside. Outside the cell block while other condemned prisoners roared and shouted and banged tin cups on bars and metal walls and judas-hole-grills. Outside the prison compound and across the dome-enclosed city which served the prison. 
  Then outside the dome.
