Hi,

I read a short story of Ray Bradbury
long time ago where people were
stranded on a planet and their aging
was faster so that they lived just
for eight days...

Does somebody of you know
what is the name of this
short story and in which book it appeared ?

thanx

"Frost and Fire," original title "The Creatures that Time Forgot." I think it appears in "R is for Rocket" and one or two other books.

"Frost and Fire" also appears in the 1980 Knopf collection, THE STORIES OF RAY BRADBURY, which is still in print.

His best science fiction story!

Montage is a good word.

So is Montag.

No, but spam happens all the time!
