| Summary | "Cat and Mouse" by Ralph Williams is a science fiction novella published in the late 1950s. The story focuses on the conflict between a man named Ed Brown and an alien creature known as the Harn that threatens the balance of two worlds connected by a mysterious hole. The novella explores themes of survival, intrusion, and the consequences of ecological disruption. In the narrative, Ed, a seasoned trapper living in Alaska, stumbles upon a portal to another world, leading him to encounter the Harn, which is a parasitic species wreaking havoc in its newly discovered ecosystem. Ed's initially cautious exploration turns into a battle for survival as he devises strategies to combat the Harn and protect his territory. The story unfolds with Ed's growing awareness of the dangers posed by the Harn, ultimately culminating in a desperate confrontation that tests his resourcefulness and resilience. Alongside his faithful cat, Tom, Ed navigates this intertwining of worlds, revealing the complexities of inter-world interactions and the fine line between predator and prey.
