Every So Often

by Rich Larson

Victor has been living in the past for a long time--his job is to murder anyone who might try to alter it. In the dirty village of Mauthausen, 1894, he waits, watches, and intervenes when necessary. Victor has been successful so far, but on a long enough timeline mistakes are bound to happen...and he's beginning to question if they haven't already.
