This is the final product of the short story I’ve bee working on. It is the prequel to my upcoming still-titleless novel, and gives a glimpse into the first major conflict of the novel, which is based entirely in the still-nameless Steampunk World. You’ll notice soon enough that the Steampunk World has plenty of conflict all on its own, without the help of Cydia. This story specifically is focused in the major city of Lanford, a metropolis made almost entirely out of brass pipes, steel sheets, and brick, and powered by – you guessed it – steam. The main character, Danil Othret, has fallen from our world, Earth, into the Steampunk World. There he meets the strange Mr. Tesla, who introduces him to Lanford and all of its wonders – and its troubles.

I hope you enjoy this little glimpse into the new universe I’ve created. Look forward to November! Continue reading this post to get to the short story.
