What if John F. Kennedy wasn't assassinated? |
We all know that John F. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963. But what if he wasn't?
Somewhere in the depths of the White House, a group of extraordinary scientists were assigned to create a machine to go back and stop the assassination attempt on JFK's life, and they succeeded. To the world, however, there was no such incident - Kennedy's life was never threatened throughout his presidency or afterwards. These travelers behind-the-scenes helped ensure Kennedy stayed in office, changing many events in history because of it. After Kennedy found out about this shocking mission, he secretly enlisted these travelers to help him save the country from other atrocities - both from inside the Oval Office and after his presidency. Shortly after his death in 1983, however, these travelers began to have doubts regarding how to choose and manage their future missions. This led the group to split down the middle - one side going after everyone who could potentially make a negative impact on America's future, the other believing that going back and rewriting history all the time ruins the basic fabric that every human strives for - freedom. After years of conflict behind the scenes of America's history, there is one incident that will result in the biggest bloodbath either group will ever witness - The Incident of 1998. |
