Title: The Time-Traveling Watch

Level: Intermediate (B2)

#Story :

Leo, a collector of strange and rare objects, finds an old pocket watch in an antique shop. The shopkeeper mysteriously claims the watch has the power to control time, though Leo doesn’t believe it at first. But after pressing a small button on the watch, Leo is transported to a different time. He finds himself in a village that feels old and unfamiliar, where he meets Arthur, a man who seems to know a lot about time travel. Arthur warns Leo about the dangers of tampering with time, explaining that any small change could alter the future in ways Leo can’t predict. Now Leo must decide whether to try and return home or explore this new time, knowing the risk he faces if things go wrong.
