"Crossroads of Destiny" by H. Beam Piper is a science fiction story that plays with the idea of alternate realities born from altered historical moments. Set in a train car, a group of men discusses a speculative television show concept where history is reimagined through slight changes to key events. The conversation is disrupted by a mysterious man whose presence hints at other dimensions and possible timelines, as a tangible artifact appears to represent the alternate reality the stranger encountered. The narrative builds on examining the idea of how fragile history might be and how even slight alternations drastically change an event’s outcome.
