Everything you wrote down looks right. You catch a glimpse of your unfinished manuscript out of the corner or your eye, and you realize that everything you remember having written on the 12th is no longer there.
Selena picks up her manuscript that she was working on and saw that her work from the 12 is gone like she never even wrote it. Her eyes widen a bit but goes back to normal. Selena sighed and rubbed the side of her forehead. She begins to think, "Okay so if tomorrow is something very bad will happen then why did I go back to the morning of November 11th?"
Outside, it's a cheerful morning besides a soft breeze blowing in your face. Commuters in hats and coats are going on their merry way to their destinations as always, some in carriages (although those are rarer in your sector of the city), and the somewhat familiar sound of a hammer clanging on metal provides some sort of undertone to the hubbub. Nothing seems out of place, and no one is panicking. It would be a perfectly normal morning if you hadn't just witnessed the apocalypse or whatever that was.
The deep tones of a bell cut through the bustle, and you count 11 rings before it stops.
"Eleven o' clock," I murmur. "Well, I slept late." What day is it, exactly? I consider asking the passerby, but I'm pretty socially awkward and would prefer to avoid interaction if possible. Either way, I'm confused..... I must be going insane or something. "Hey," I call to a random passerby. "I- I don't mean to be a bother.... but, uh, what.... day is it?"

The nearest person, a young woman wearing a scarf who appears to be in a rush, turns around, giving you a slightly strange look. You must seem a bit out of place, probably looking disheveled as usual and asking a question that you ought to know the answer to.
"Why, it's Friday, November 11th. You can check a newspaper. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm late for work." She hurries off without any further elaboration.

The current last sentence is one you remember having written two days ago. You're not sure what the answer to your question is, all you know is that it was previously the 12th, but now you're somehow one day before that.

Well, that was embarrasing, but at least I know now.....
Wait.
Oh.
The 11th? Wasn't it the..... 12th? I laugh nervously to myself- I frequently forget the date, maybe I was just mistaken...... but no. It was the 12th yesterday. So how can it be the 11th?
I stand there watching the crowd go by, hardly noticing my surroundings at all. It's all starting to come together now, and the conclusion is..... unpleasant.

You're so lost in thought that you don't realize you're standing in the middle of the street, nor do you notice the occasional jostle and shouted apologies from people walking into you. You've also completely tuned out the jingling sound coming towards you, at least until you suddenly get knocked backwards and down, landing with your face two inches from the curb. Either you just learned how to achieve liftoff for half a second, or someone's just tackled you.
