Well, it was in 2001, Night had fallen, dark yet moonlit, the stars blinked and flashed like a unset video recorder... Erm. yeah. No, Back in 2001 I was going out with a lass who, well, interesting things happen around her. Not so much these days, but back then, if you wanted to develop a belief in the existence of ghosts, aliens, and things that most people don't really believe in she was the one to hang around. Everyone who's known her up until a few years ago had their range of strange stories to tell.
This is one of the less strange ones; she got up to go to the loo in the middle of the night - my bed at the time was up against the wall of the room, so she had to clamber over me, waking me in the process. As it happened I dozily looked at the clock, which said, I dunno, midnight. It's not easy to get the time wrong looking at my clock, it's an ancient digital alarm clock with the blindingly bright green LEDs that you don't really see anymore. So, I looked at it, and then curled up and went back to sleep.
Then I woke up, sat bolt up right, completely awake. It felt like I wasn't and hadn't been asleep. The only thing was I was very confused as to why I was sat upright in bed. It took a second to get my bearings, I looked round, my partner wasn't back... I looked at the clock, it was 2am (well, two hours further on). At that moment I heard the toilet flush, and she wandered back in, looking a bit... odd. Shocked. Distant. Confused. I was like "what the fuck just happened" and she asked what I meant, we ran through it, she'd just been out for a wee, nothing else, and hell, 2 hours is a long time to spend in the bathroom. She thought she'd been gone a few minutes at most.
The follow up to this is that I joked about wanting my 'missing time' back for a couple of years, then got it in a night where I would go to sleep, dream, doze for a bit, wake up properly and it'd be less than a minute later. :)
