I glanced down at my watch, wondering how long I had been walking backwards through the forest. For that matter how long had I been looking for the darn rabbit? It had been 3 pm when I first saw the talking rabbit, but that couldn't really be because my watch still read 3 pm. I stared at the watch for a while, the second hand made a round of the dial but the minute hand didn't click forward. The second hand kept going around but the dial didn't move one minute away from 3. I had heard of watches stopping, but not selectively stopping. If one hand stopped all the hands stopped. I tapped at the dial. For that matter, the sun didn't seem to have moved in the sky either. How would I ever reach the party on time if time itself wasn't working right? Maybe it would start moving again once I reached the party. It was my only working theory so I went back to carefully tracing my way backwards through the forest.
