"It's, you know. Going."

She's younger than she would have guessed from the clothes she's wearing, Maureen thinks. Or older? The girl's face had looked so round in the hard light of the flashlight beam, but up close the cut of her clothes about her seems wrong. But that's somehow true of everyone when the whole town is dressed like pictures of her great-great-grandparents behind sticky photo album clear sheet peel paper.

"It would go faster with some help."

With a tilt of the wrist, Maureen offers her the little crank flashlight.
