Looking for Time Travelers
REB — (archived)

Here is a thought. If Time travel is possible (Which I am not convinced it is. At best, we might be able to recreate the past- but that is another story) I would expect Time Travelers to be hanging out at historical events, like the sinking of the Titanic. Perhaps they even look out for each other at these historical events, and give each other a respectable nod.

I wonder if there were any hanging around on 9/11 in NY? Imagine being there in all that chaos, but you notice someone who doesn’t quite fit in. They seem to be observing the situation. Are they a Time Traveler? They notice you looking at them. You start to follow them, but they disappear around corner.

So if you ever find yourself in the mist of an historical event, keep your eyes out for Time Travelers.

A story idea in the back of my head is along these lines. The government wants to catch a Time Traveler, so they manufacture a historical event and lay waiting.
