She smiled her love. "We're going back. We'll face it together and we'll conquer it together. You won't be alone now. Darling, don't you see--it's because you aren't a clod, because you're sensitive and imaginative that you experience fear. It's not anything to be ashamed of. You were simply the first man on Earth to develop a new and completely different kind of fear--Time Fear." Moonson put out his hand and gently touched his wife's hair. Ascending into the Time Observatory a thought came unbidden into his mind: _Others he saved, himself he could not save._ But that wasn't true at all now. He _could_ help himself now. He would never be alone again! When guided by the sure hand of love and complete trust, self-knowledge could be a shining weapon. The trip back might be difficult, but holding tight to his wife's hand he felt no misgivings, no fear. Transcriber's Note: This etext was produced from _Fantastic Universe_ March 1954.
