Go to the past, and don't talk about any historically significant people. Tell the story of one set of mostly miserable people. Really really go on about how miserable they are. Have them long for and wait for something that never happens. Then kill them each and every one slowly with disease. Tell of each death in repetitive detail.
It's a timeless story for sure. It could be told of any group of people any time and be a story utterly uninteresting TO ME.
Wrap it in the merest veneer of science fiction and time travel....and you can entice me to read it......but not to have enjoyed the experience.
