[Clayart] NEWTS!!

[David Woof]

WE can now look out our respective windows and rewrite this story.  This time however it won't be a screen play or fiction.

Don't hold your breath waiting...or we will be the crushed one's fluttering our last wing beats on the forest floor.

Acceptance of previously "unacceptable alternatives" will be our lifeline.

( We must Go deeper into an alternate look at the apparent alternatives.)

Love
Woof...........................................................................................................

I know exactly the story you're referring to.
It was a "big game" hunting expedition to kill dinosaurs. (But the
organizers had to be very very careful to pick a dinosaur that was just
about to be killed by a freak accident, and collect the bullet). The hunter
stepped off the floating pathway and killed a butterfly. When they came
back to the present everything had changed, massively.
Can't for the life of me remember what it was called or who wrote it. Had
to read it in High School.
They made a lousy movie out of it too, recently. I say lousy, because it
dumbed down the whole premise of the story which was how an imperceptible
tiny accident could change things so much. A time travel version of chaos
theory's butterfly effect.
