Williams, Craig Groshek, and Kyle Harrison. An autumn storm is brewing, and so Otis and Malcolm share some 'friendly' porchside stories with each other. In the first, a young boy who dreams of shadowy beings on his walls finds they can predict - or even shape - the future, and he uses this for his own purposes...until he has to face the consequences. In the second, a plane flight through some strange clouds offers the pilot and his student strange new powers...but what happens when those powers don't work how they should? In the third, an amnesic researcher finds that what he is studying beneath the ocean waves is far more sinister than anything he could have imagined.
