What If—
"What If—" is a fantasy short story by Isaac Asimov that was first published in the Summer 1952 issue of ''Fantastic'' and reprinted in the 1969 collection ''Nightfall and Other Stories''. The story was inspired by the author's wife, who challenged him to produce a story based on a train trip they were taking to New York.
==Plot summary==
A married couple is traveling on a train from Boston to New York City. They meet a mysterious silent man known only as Mister If, who shows them a small portable television-like device about in size. (Mr. If's first name is implied to be What, but whether this is true or not is left to the reader.)
On the device's screen, Mr. If shows the couple scenes from their earlier lives and what might have happened if certain minor but pivotal events had not occurred.
