Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Review: 2020.260 (A Word for Authors)
Pro: It’s a fairly standard story about time travellers unexpectedly changing the past.
Con: Other than the twist at the end, there’s almost nothing to the plot. The two travellers encounter no obstacles whatsoever.
