Time Trap

"Time Trap" by Frank Belknap Long is a science fiction story that throws you into a wild ride of identity and time travel on the moon. It's about Charley Grimes, a space explorer, who stumbles upon something really strange: his own footprints. These prints lead him to a weird mound where he meets his younger and older selves, who tell him about a scary monster that messes with time. As Grimes fights this time-bending creature, he has to face who he is and the choices he's made. The story gets super intense when he battles the monster, trying to hold onto his own identity in a reality where time is all twisted. With strong images and a focus on what's happening in Grimes's mind, Long makes you think about how the past, present, and future are all connected.
