Don't remember that story, but the classic disturbing the timeline short story is 'A Sound of Thunder' written by Ray Bradbury in 1952 !!
A group of dinosaur hunters go back in time for a strictly controlled hunt, but one guy steps off the elevated road and treads on a butterfly. When they return to the present ... well ... it isn't the present they left.
Thought to be one of the origins of the expression: The Butterfly Effect.
