the mistaken watch
You stumble out of bed, trying to make sense of the strange dream you
just had. You look at your watch wondering how long you had been
asleep. Your watch appears to have stopped. You shake your wrist in
an attempt to get the old thing started again. Something on the
watch's face catches your eye. The time on your watch shows exactly
the same time that you had laid down to go to sleep. That's so
strange! You feel like you had been sleeping for hours. That is when
you notice the date on your usually faithful time piece. Your eyes
widen with fright as you read that your watch shows that you have been
asleep for exactly 50 years to the hour.
