@RUTGERS.ARPA,@CISL-SERVICE-MULTICS.ARPA:Dave-Platt@LADC (05/10/85)
From: Dave Platt <Dave-Platt%LADC@CISL-SERVICE-MULTICS.ARPA> Another story along these lines (probably not the one being asked about, but you never know) is the short novel "Time Trap", by Keith Laumer. Small communities from various times were yanked out of normal spacetime and locked into 5(??)-dimensional hyperspheres. If you walked a mile or so in any direction, you came back to your starting point, and each day you were physically restored to your form as of the time that you were originally locked into the trap (with your memories of the intervening time intact, however). Rather tongue-in-cheek; features an alien who closely resembles an ambulatory giant rutabega.
