This is a good start and could easily be extended to something more extensive...a novella perhaps. As for your question; I simply don't know. It is odd...did this really happen?

Hi Bob,
Hummm let me think. Maybe your watches got lost in time. Or time stopped between 2:05 and 5 o'clock...sort of like flying over the date line. Or perhaps your watches have been wrong for days and you just noticed it. Yikes I don't know! A very perplexing poem....well done, chey

Comment from Sally Carter
Sorry Bob, I don't have a clue. But then, you are talking to someone who can't follow the most basic plot of a sci-fi children's programme. And time warps? Don't even try to explain them.
Do you know if the times were right when you left home? Did you ask any other customers whether you had been there the whole time? Perhaps you went on some kind of time travel.
Spooky indeed. Let us know if you ever come up with an answer!
Best wishes.
Sally

This was excellent, it has everyone scratching their head. I'm going with allezw2. What a fun piece. No brilliant answers though.

Comment from RazberryBullet
Spooky!
suggestion: (")Theirs says 5:00? How can that be?"
Why was it, my computer and my wife's watch were the only two timepieces that showed 2:05 PM? Any ideas?
Obviously, you and your wife were momentarily in the Twilight Zone :) What happened when you went back home?

Comment from Annmuma
I'd stay away from the booby hatch! Based on my info a simple 3 hours difference in time reality would move you to the front of the class there and all of the real nutcases would have to wait in line.
A change in time zones? Concentrate on the good stuff -- both you and your wife were in the same place in time AND had your computer! Did you check your watches before you left home? Maybe they were wrong then. Had you just returned from a trip?
Can't wait to see what solution -if any-- is discovered. ann

Hi, Ann...No, time zone was the same. My wife's watch has never lost time since she got it well over two years ago and once reset....it is correct now...And how do you explain that they were both exactly 2:05? LOL....Thanks...Bob

Perhaps some things are just not for explaining. Maybe somethings are just meant to reinforce our connection with a specific person. Somethings don't bear interpretation -- just appreciation. talk to you later. ann
Comment from Gert sherwood
Hi Bob,
Good one. My thoughts are it was really 2 o'clock the Cafe at Barnes and Nobles clock was three hours off, and people decided to change their watches.
Would drive any one nuts
It's good to read somthing with a question.
A Very original shot essay.
Gert.

Makes you wonder doesn't it?

Comment from Patricia.Green
Is it possible that both the watch and computer encountered a magnetic field simultaneously? Even a small magnet could throw things off, BUT both the watch and the computer would have had to be affected by the magnet at the same minute.
Very strange experience.

Comment from Realist101
Unless this really happened, it was just that you were both so engrossed in what you were reading, that time just got away! Now, if both watches really stopped, then there are supernatural forces at work! This is a very interesting, well done, and intriguing little tale!! :) Susan...ps...you should do more like this, only longer!! VERY GOOD!!! ps...let me know if you can see the 5 stars?

Of course this really happened, Realist...LOL..Doesn't matter how engrossed we were, fact still remains the other people including Barnes and Noble's clocks were correct....ours were off together byexactly the same amount of time?? Yes, LOL...I csn see the five...Bob

Wellllllll...I would think it is not just your watches. No way would they be going "dead" at the same time. I have wondered about time portals. I have no clue, this is fascinating tho, Pay attention to your watches the next time you are there!! I would go back immediately, and see what happens! Keep me posted on this? Neat. Susan
Comment from Mrs Jones
Now that is really weird Bobbie. I have never heard of anything like that before. All I can think of is that you and Lynnie and the laptop are in sync. LOL. Jokes aside it is a bit freaky. Very interesting.
