Valhalla
- by Gregory Benford
- Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, April 1982
A nameless traveler from the future appears in Hitler’s bunker moments before the Führer’s suicide. Hitler interprets the man as a Valkyrie, come to escort him to a higher place, but the man (who is made up to look exactly like Hitler) has plans that don’t exactly include a Nordic heaven in Hitler’s future.
Immortality, Führer! That is what I offer. I have come to you from the future!

Down the River Road
- by Gregory Benford
- in After the King: Stories in Honor of J.R.R. Tolkien, edited by Martin H. Greenberg (Tor Books, January 1992)
On the verge of becoming a man, John travels a river that is an admixture of time-flow and liquid metal—or possibly of magic and science—with the goal of finding out about a father whom he barely remembers.
John followed the boot tracks away from the launch. They led inland, so there was no time pressure to fight. His clothes dried out as he walked beneath a shimmering patch of burnt-goald worldwall that hung tantalizingly behind roiling clouds.

Caveat Time Traveller
- by Mack Reynolds
- in Nature, 2 April 2009
Benford notes that his 2009 story must have come from a childhood memory of Mack Reynolds’ nearly identical 1952 story, “The Business, As Usual.”
Yes, I learned that later. I must’ve read it as a kid (was 11 then).
I must look it up sometime. I knew Mack, too, visited him in Mexico in 1966. Odd how the mind works.
