[WP] You woke up in a bedroom and found a modern silenced pistol and an envelope. Inside the envelope there's three photos and a letter. The letter writes "You are in Vienna, 1913. The pictures attached are Leon Trotsky, Josef Stalin, and Adolf Hitler. Kill them or we will kill your ancestors."

   You would be amazed how easy it is too get away with murder in 1913. No security cameras manning every street corner, no drones glaring done from above, or personal locators recording your every step. Here, there was just a sleepy town, on a cold fall night. At a glance it would seem like just an insignificant spec of history, and yet the three rulers of the world, the most evil and powerful men in history, were all living here at the same time.
 I was never the best history student but I could remember things I had learn about these men, things that everyone would know. Leon Trotsky and Stalin working together, the Russian and Japanese Invasions at Alaska and Pearl Harbor  The Allies Defeat to the Axis powers, and the dictatorship that followed. But this was nearly, 20 years before I was born. My Parents told me stories of how things had been better before, but idea like freedom of speech were unknown to me. The only freedom I knew was the freedom to take a bullet for saying or doing the wrong thing, and if they didn't kill you outright, you simply vanish in the middle of night. 
 So, When I saw the note, I knew, this was my chance to make a difference, to stop them before they could hurt anyone. And it was easy, it only took me a day to find the three men, and a few more hours to lure them into a trap, this was after all a much more trusting time. The three bodies hide silently, in the darkness now, and as I was contemplating what to do next, I heard the gun talk.

"Adrian, you have completed your task as requested, please hold the gun in your dominate hand and standby to return to your time"

I held the gun in my right hand and with that I was engulfed in a wave of blinding light and everything became dark. The Air was hot now, hotter then I had ever felt it, my lungs burned with every breathe. My vision, was returning but all I could see fire, and death. Destroyed buildings littered the landscape for as far as the eye could see. I wanted to cry out for help but I couldn't breathe anymore, I fell to the ground and everything turned gray. I woke up in a bedroom, with no knowledge of how I came to be here. On the ledge next to me there was a modern silenced pistol and an envelope. Inside the envelope there's a single photo and a letter. The letter writes "You are in Zurich Switzerland, 1913. The picture is of Albert Einstein. Kill him or we will kill your ancestors."
