I’m bound to the pyre. The last time I was here, that piece of newspaper foretold the eclipse, and I was spared. But in the intervening years I’ve learned the sub was not eclipsed by the moon but by a vast satellite instead - built in the past by a species observing us before we could look back. Our own time travel science has improved since. In the future, back in Connecticut, we’ll soon destroy their ecliptic . But I’m in the past, and I hope they wait. I need this eclipse to save me from King Arthur’s court.

Mark Twain would have loved this tribute.
