trying to remember story name & author

[outofcuriosity]

Hi. I was searching for some info this morning and came across this website. Hoping someone here may know...I read a short story in college. I only remember a little of it, but there was a man walking along a path w/ some kind of "tour group". He was instructed specifically not to touch anything he saw, but I believe he reached out and touched a butterfly. I think at the moment he did this, someone he cared about died. Does any of this sound familiar? Should I be posting in another forum?

Thanks,
G

This reminds us of a Bradbury's short story "A Sound of Thunder"

Thanks! I think that's the one. I pulled it up and did a quick scan. I'll read more thoroughly, and see if it will jog my memory. Thanks for your post.:idea:
