The story begins in the space behind a waterfall, when a commanding officer and a lady meet because of mist coiling through a wood. It is about the eternal.

From [livejournal.com profile] telophase's Steampunk Random Story Generator, to which [livejournal.com profile] thistleingrey and [livejournal.com profile] sovay have both linked. Go and find more stories, and when you find them, share them with me.

Be warned: once you start clicking, it's difficult to stop again.

The story narrates a journey between a room full of abandoned inventions and an opium den, during which a tormented but brilliant strategist and an organ-grinder encounter an anti-hero with stubble, as well as a bet and a pneumatic messaging system.

Your narrative is about discovery of one's self. It begins in gas-lit streets. There is the Giant White Rat of Sumatra and an efficient assistant who meets a gemstone-cutter. It inevitably ends with absinthe.


Absinthe. Of course. Why didn't I think of that?
