The Specific Case

I let Hitler live.

And don’t expect any sermons about changing history. That’s why I built the damn time machine.

But when I grew up, we learned about Brauer, and the razing of Paris.

I killed him.

When I got back, there was Eichel. I killed him too.

But no matter how many times I tried, there was always someone else. Another head on the hydra. Because these people don’t come from nowhere… they come from a mess of politics and economics and fear, and that’s not fixed by killing one man.

Changing history’s easy. Society’s what needs the work.
