“We’ve got us another one!”
“Ok, let’s fire up the ol’ Temporal Displacer. Time to go and stop them messing with time.”
“Do you have to say that every single…time?!”
“Sorry! Somehow, I just can’t help myself.”
“Ok, Gödelian Loop Sequence initialized.”
“Copy that. So, when are we headed?”
“The tracker indicates landing 30 seconds from now.”
“Seems an odd time to indulge in a spot of timeline disruption. Who are they planning to kill?”
“Dunno, but they look kinda familiar to me…”
“Can the tracker get a better fix on the victims’ identities?”
“Sure, let’s see…Oh, crap.”
Brilliant! Great twist at the end.
I love sci fi stories and this one is a corker.
Loved this! A lot to think about, I liked ‘so when are we headed?’ I suspected where this was going from ’30 seconds from now’. Great end. Well done.
Nice one! Loved that we weren’t spoon-fed the ending
Great story – well done!
Bwahahaha!
