Up In Smoke

It was a desperate gamble. I had to pick the right circumstances but there was so much to choose from. I could stop any number assassinations from John Lennon to John F. Kennedy.

Whatever I chose I knew the possibility of this being a one way trip. Project Paradox was risky anyway. Altering history just to see the effects? There were so many things that could wrong I have no time to list them here. Ironic, isn't it ,that I have no time.

I picked a doosy. There was one atrocity in particular I wanted to stop and for that I had to travel back France in a time of great conflict. I was going to stop the death of Joan of Arc. Foolish me. The moment I appeared out of nowhere to plead her case they assumed I was some sorcerer or the devil she was in league with. I'm sending this account back through the time gate hoping it reaches the proper destination. The only thing I changed was the number of people burned at the stake that day.
