Time Travel Tropes

Blood Trail

by Kristine Kathryn Rusch
Detective Wheldon, the top man in NYPD Homicide is approached by two FBI agents who offer to let him go back in time two weeks to observe the 4th killing by a serial killer.

This is the first story in Future Imperfect, a 2001 anthology of 12 original time-travel stories, co-edited by the prolific anthologist Martin H. Greenberg (1941-2011) who was also a political science professor at the University of Wisconsin, Green Bay.

Who Is Rudolph Fentz?

by C. R. Berry
It would seem that Jack Finney got it wrong in his 1951 story “I’m Scared.” But never fear! C. R. Berry tells us the true story of how a certain Mr. Rudolph Fentz came to find himself in front of a cab on a busy street next to Times Square.
— Michael Main
At 11.15pm, Forrest was passing through Times Square, New York City, heading for his apartment on West 51st Street during Times Square’s busiest time, theatre letting out time. Carving through the crowds, wishing he’d gone a different way, Forrest noticed a man in his thirties standing in the middle of the road.
