A notion related to time slips are time loops -- where the same action takes place repeatedly.
So, one day, my wife and I went for a walk in a forest in Germany. Heading up the way, a path crossed ours. We looked to the right. About 100 or so feet away, to the right, was a "bump" in the crossing path. A man was walking up the "bump" with his dog.
We continue straight on, walk around for half an hour to an hour. I recall feeling a bit confused in the forest. The walking paths didn't seem to go the ways I remembered, but we were not lost. We then headed back to the car the way we came.
I reached the point where the other path crossed first. I glance over to my left -- and, on the "bump" -- for all the world, it looks like the same guy with the same dog is still walking up the "bump"!
I think to myself, "nah, it has to be someone else" and start to brush it off. My wife, who is behind me, then reaches the crossing path and calls to me: "Did you see that! It's like that guy has gone nowhere -- is he stuck in time?"
THAT blew me away. My wife has only a passing interest in science fiction topics, yet she hit the nail square on the head as far as what my thoughts a few seconds before had been.
Clouds were gathering and it seemed to be getting darker than usual for that time of day. A storm was coming in. I told her, "let's go a bit faster", so we quick-timed to our car. As we drove out of there, I felt some tension release.
Could have all been false perception, but it felt very odd, and was made doubly so when my wife noticed, without being prompted, the same thing I did.
TICK TOCK
Cheers
