Time Trap

Around a campfire in the Rockies, veteran space traveler Charley Grimes tells a tale that begins as a lonely lunar expedition and quickly turns impossible. On the dark side of the moon, he discovers a frozen valley, a trail of footprints, and a termite-mound-like structure that seems to be waiting for him. Inside, Charley finds a frightened boy in an oversized spacesuit—one with his own face. The boy believes Charley may be his father, and the shock deepens when an older version of Charley appears, revealing that time has fractured around them. Trapped among versions of himself, Charley learns that a monstrous force in the valley can dissolve and reshape time, spawning branching futures and twisting identity into a dangerous puzzle. What follows is a tense, haunting science-fiction mystery about survival, memory, and the terrifying question of who Charley Grimes is meant to become.
