Test of Metal

This is the story of a clockwork man. Across every world and throughout all flavors of reality, tales are told of artificial girls and mechanical boys whose dream is someday to become a living thing. This is not that kind of story. This clockwork man was alive, and he dreamed of becoming mechanical. He turned away from flesh and stink, from birth and blood and mess; he sought even to replace limbs and trunk and head with shining metal. He made of his mind a glittering construct of gears and ratchets, of springs and weights and balances of impossible precision, and he engineered his heart into an assemblage of levers and pulleys, of fulcra, ramps, and gleaming screws. Flesh is corruption. Metal is incapable of sin. This is the tragedy of how the clockwork man’s fondest dream began to come true.
