Philip K Dick's "Adjustment Team" aka "The Adjustment Bureau" (novelette, free): A man accidentally watches God in action

God, with the help of his team, sometimes adjusts reality, to set up a chain of events towards a desired outcome. These adjustments are localized, done in "sectors".

One of these adjustments went a little wrong, in that it didn't change all that needed changing. One "element" remained unchanged! Element that's a man named Ed Fletcher.

This is the story of Fletcher's nightmare that results.
