    Granted. They existed decades ago. They disappear from the timeline and appear in front of you. The butterfly effect occurs. Minor differences ripple out into tsunamis of change. You head into your Haus to get a Flaschenöffner, aber du can’t seem to find one. Wo ist es, du fragst. Du kannst sich nicht erinnern. Vielleicht hat der Nachbar einen.

      Damn. Good one. I just searched online but I can’t find or recall the name… there was a short SF story by… Robert Bloch? About someone (American) finding their radio could communicate back in time with their father or grandfather, who was a German U-boat crewman. They knew when the U-boat had been sunk, so they told their ancestor to avoid the situation… and woke up the next morning to a very different world.

      Anyone know the name of that story?
