It wasn't that the Garbage Men were faster than she was, Janet thought, bounding through drifts of red-gold leaf litter that layered the forest floor in a crunching, crackling blanket of noisy traitors.

She pushed up the sleeve of her oversized sweater, checked the three watches strapped there. Clock-faces of sea-glass and sand stared back, unnumbered, handless and blank.
Janet knew she had to get back to the lake.
