The sign on the wall seemed to quaver under a film of sliding warm water. Eckels felt his eyelids blink over his stare, and the sign burned in this momentary darkness:

TIME SAFARI, INC.
SAFARIS TO ANY YEAR IN THE PAST.
YOU NAME THE ANIMAL.
WE TAKE YOU THERE. YOU SHOOT IT.
Warm phlegm gathered in Eckels’ throat; he swallowed and pushed it down. The muscles around his mouth formed a smile as he put his hand slowly out upon the air, and in that hand waved a check for ten thousand dollars to the man behind the desk.
“Does this safari guarantee I come back alive?”
“We guarantee nothing,” said the official, “except the dinosaurs.”

First published in Collier’s magazine in the June 28, 1952 issue, Ray Bradbury’s sci-fi short ‘A Sound of Thunder’ is set in the year 2055 when time travel has become a practical reality. A company by the name of Time Safari, Inc. offers wealthy adventurers the chance to travel back in time to hunt extinct species of animals including dinosaurs. The tale focuses on a small hunting party that travels back to the late Cretaceous Era on a guided safari to hunt the ultimate predator – a Tyrannosaurus Rex – but when things go awry, a very real butterfly effect is put into motion that changes the future in ways nobody could have expected.
