"If Time Travel Was Real: My First Adventure"

I've always been interested with the idea of time travel, but I never thought it might be ever possible. I still remember a movie I used to like very much, which is “Men in Black 3”. It was so amazing that how Agent J went back in time to 1969 to save Agent K; what if I could do the same? What if it was possible to having a "time jump" ?

"The Time Jump Scene"

As still recalling back the adventures in Men in Black 3 and sat on my couch, I reached for the TV remote and pressed the play button without realizing it. I was losing myself in the memories while the famous opening scene had started. Just then, I saw an old pocket watch that my grandfather had given me on my coffee. I picked it up and wound it. Suddenly, my surrounding changed. The lights flickered, the air seemed heavy, and before I realizing what's happening, everything went black.

When I opened my eyes, I was no longer in my living room. However, I found myself in the center of a crowded street with many vintage cars. Everyone was wearing clothes from the 1960s. The smell of freshly brewed coffee and cigarette smoke filled my nose. This is New York. Although I had seen it before, but this is not the New York as I knew it recently.

"New York in 1960s"

I tried to fit inside the crowd. People gave me a curious glance, they are eyeing on my different style, modern and trendy outfits. I realized quicky, what I know in Men in Black is time traveling are riskier that we think. Every small part changed could have an unexpected consequence. Had I already changed something just being here for a while?

I forced myself to stay calm even though I am that panic. I went back to the starting point where I have been here and expect to find some hint that can send me back home. Suddenly, I felt there was a pocket watch in my jacket. The pocket watch was warm and throbbing with electricity. Was I actually sent here by this pocket watch? More importantly, could it bring me back?

I took a very deep breath and made a wish that can bring me back. As I wound the pocket watch. I was surrounded by a whiff of wind, the 1960s New York went out of focus as fast as when I had arrived. The next thing when I realized, Men in Black 3 was still playing on the TV.  I was sitting there in a fog, holding the pocket watch tightly.

Was everything a dream? A manifestation of my imagination brought on by the film? Maybe. However, the feeling in the 1960s are so realistic and telling me it wasn’t the year where I was. Even if only for a moment, I had travelled back in time! After this, could it happen again?
