He travels back in time to see if he can stop a terrible tragedy from happening and if so how the change would affect the future. It sounds insane and Jake decides he wants a trial run first to see if his friend is correct and not just lost his mind.
If the assassination can be stopped, he hopes it will change world events for the better. Al wants him to use the pantry to go back in time to 1958 and and stop Lee Harvey Oswald from assassinating John F. He soon learns that he can stay as long as he wants in 1958 (days, weeks, months or years) and when he returns only 2 minutes have passed, but the downside is that he will have aged the amount of time he stayed in the other past.Īl is dying and he asks Jake for a favour. He takes Jake into his pantry where he can step back into time to 1958 America.
He then lets him in on a big secret – he can time travel and has been for a long time. Al explains that it is indeed his friend and that he is dying. Upon entering, he finds a dying man, a much older version of his friend Al – he has aged an awful lot since the day before. When he arrives, he discovers that despite it being such a popular eatery it is now closed for good even though it was open just the day before with no mention of closing.
Al is the local diner owner, a popular place as he sells his burgers at prices closer to the 1950s than 2011. Later, he receives a call from his friend Al to come and see him straightaway. Whilst reading essays from one of his students he reads about a shocking murder. He is a high school English teacher from Lisbon Falls, Maine, USA who also teaches in an adult education programme to make some extra money. Jake Epping is the protagonist of the story. Whilst Stephen King is best known for his horror, 11.22.63 goes in a different direction and is probably one of his best stories ever! In 11.22.63, Stephen King, the master of the horror story, takes us back in time in a time-travelling thriller where the protagonist tries to stop the assassination of JFK. Kennedy (JFK), the 35th president of the United States of America, was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald in Dallas, Texas. Why? If you know your history then you will know that it was the day that changed the world – John F. Ask people over 70 years old what they were doing on 22 November 1963, and I would imagine quite a few will be able to tell you exactly where they were and what they were doing. If you could travel back in time and change the course of world history, where would you go to and what would YOU do? Would the potential changes in history be worth it? These are tough questions.īut ask people a simpler question about what they were doing on a certain date and most people won’t have a clue.
