Drew goes for the A-bomb topic. His story runs the full 20 pages. This first third is the story of Jacob Weissman, the time traveler who assassinated Hitler in 1931. As Jacob intended, this succeeded in preventing the Holocaust. While the resulting version of Nazi Germany was still an extremely bad place to be a Jew (or a Gypsy or a Slav, etc.) without Hitler's influence it didn't go in for the full-scale industrialized genocide. Unfortunately, it also didn't go in for going to war against the entire world at once. The result was a Nazi empire that stretched throughout Europe and North Africa and showed no sign collapse any time in the foreseeable (from the early 21st century) future. The only person who remembers the way things were is Jacob's partner and time machine co-inventor, Josef, who is also Jewish. The remainder of the story is about Josef's realization that, in the long term, Jacob actually made things worse. He has to travel back in time and save Hitler from his friend, bringing about the Holocaust.
Drew also appends a two-page extra credit essay describing how he'd started the paper as a story on topic 2, with Jacob as the man given the vision to right a great wrong but, as the story developed, it became clear that that it didn't quite fit into that pigeonhole and fit more accurately into topic 3. He uses the evolution of the story between topics to illustrate the ubiquity of mythic elements in all sorts of stories. He notes that, in the end, while the plot structure most closely adheres to topic 3, the centerpiece of the story remains the relationship between Jacob and Josef and their destinies, which was inspired as a means to address topic 2.
