My watch stopped working this morning, five minutes before I woke up. It died in my sleep. This has never happened before, as it typically takes me four days to lose one or drown it in the shower.
On Monday, I complimented a woman interviewing me on her brooch (I actually liked it). It was a fusion of old watch faces, garnished with brass, silver, and gold stars and tendrils. She said a craftsman made it out of her collection of broken watches, at which point I wondered who kept a broken watch collection.
Collection started.
