I think it was a collection of short stories I read in high school in the late 80's. One was about time travel and had a character was named Benedict. Another story, I'm pretty sure from the same book, was about some water spouts appearing that went up into the sky out of sight, the main character got abducted and kept as a pet in what was basically large gold fish bowl, but could never see his captors or anything around him. Could never remember the name of the book or the author but would like to read it again.

That sounds a lot like a mixed up memory of slaughterhouse-five

Hmm, nope, don't believe I've ever read that one, and the plot descriptions don't ring any bells. The hunt continues!

kalamaf, if that sounds right you can find a list of publications here: http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?46526

Perhaps one of the many editions of The Menace from Earth, which included a time travel story with a character called Diktor? (By His Bootstraps)

These are the two, thanks goons!
