When the nature preserve she loves best is opened up to fracking, Anthea Aldgate panics and sets up a temporal bubble around its borders, locking herself and the forest into endless repetition of the same day unless and until she chooses to reopen the moon gate and let time--and people, and pollution--back in. At first she is torn between delight in what she has saved and dismay at its inability to grow and change. Then she realizes that she has accidentally locked someone else into the bubble, someone who will make her choice even harder.
