Slaughterhouse-Five

Slaughterhouse-Five

Everything in the story happened, more or less. At least the part about the war is quite real.
Billy is abducted by aliens, and he is disconnected from the chain of time.
He went to bed a doddering widower and woke up on his wedding day.
He entered through the door in 1955 and came out through the other door in 1941.
He said he had seen himself born and died many times, had seen himself become rich and prosperous, with many children and grandchildren, but also had seen himself become a prisoner of war and experience the disaster of Slaughterhouse-Five over and over again...
