Unthinkable
Is there anything completely beyond human comprehension? Gradually, we can gain a certain understanding of what it is by comparing it with what is understandable. There may exist and perhaps there is a vast realm of reality coexisting with the reality that we know, right around us; but he is "protected" from us. It is possible that we know less than ten percent of the reality around us because of a test of our feelings and our tools that completely block or allow you to completely pass....

Arkot fully pressed the control lever.

Earth scientists looked at them in surprise. “Lord,” muttered Mori, “where could they come from?”...

The Thirst Quenchers
With the age of nuclear power, the need for hydroelectric sources has disappeared, and with them large dams and reservoirs with their huge wasteful open water surfaces that have evaporated in thousands of acres-feet before they are ever used by people, have disappeared. The ruins of the great rivers were dry; cities and new managed auto farms spanned them. Only smaller rivers and streams continued to flow until they reached a predetermined flow force. Then they disappeared, pouring into tunnels and flowing for hundreds of miles along the underground aqueducts into large storage tanks below...

Zehru of Xollar
The New York subway is never quiet, but since there can be a quiet moment in this dirty place, Blake and Helen stood there on the platform, quietly waiting for their train ... and then, after a moment, the place became wild. Then a strange thing began - at first it was just a pulsating sound, like a deep note of some colossal organ somewhere in the tunnels not too far away. Then, when the sound became loud enough to make his teeth itch, the subway tunnels erupted in trembling ribbons of dazzling green flames. Blake hugged Helen to protect her from the strangely explosive light - and flames...

Accidental Death
The most dangerous weapon is one you don’t know is charged. The wind blew from the northwest, blinded by snow and boarded up with ice crystals. All the way to the half-mile abyss he fumbled and pulled out, moaning with ice plates. He screamed piercingly, whirled the snow in a dervish dance around the hollow, piled the snow into a long furrow, a plowed ruler, right through the streamlined clouds of snow. The sun shone on a black rock glazed with ice, abysses and ridges and ice bridges. He illuminated the snowy slope to a frozen glare, outlined a black shadow along a long furrow and turned at...

Somewhere in his tiny expanse were friends whom he had to save. Captured crazy, they were reduced to the size of their native Orena; to return to Earth, they needed the capsules for growth that Randolph brought them. Randolph had to find them...
