Lost Time at the Movies
by Retro

One afternoon back in the late '80s, I decided to see a movie by myself . I arrived to view the movie at 4:45. I parked the car, ran to the outside ticket booth and paid for my ticket. I walked in, watched the entire movie and when the credits rolled, I got up and walked out front. I felt funny when walking to the theatre door to the looby, like I was standing in more than one spot at the same time. It didn't hurt and it wasnt uncomfortable, just unusual.

I thought maybe it was because I had been sitting for quite awhile. On my way out of the theatre, I noticed I didn't see anyone. Not one person in the actual theatre lobby. I walked outside, which seemed a little bright for the time of day it should have been and got into my car.

After starting the car, I noticed the time showing was a little after 5 o'clock. I looked at my watch which showed what I thought was the correct time of 6:30. After walking into my home, I noticed that the clock had 5:15 on it. I don't know what happened that day. I know I saw the entire movie, but apparently I was only in the theatre for 15 minutes. It still haunts me to this day.
