"The Creatures That Time Forgot" by Ray Bradbury is set on a planet where time flies by incredibly fast, so much so that people are born, age, and die within a single day. It’s a thought-provoking metaphor for how fleeting life is and the unstoppable march of time.

Bradbury uses this unique premisse to dig into themes like survival, adaptation, and how temporary our achievements really are. It’s a reminder that no matter how hard we try, we're always at the mercy of time. The tale nudges us to appreciate each moment and find meaning in our brief existence.

Surprisingly deep layers for what looks like an ordinary science fiction story.
