WOW Writer Spotlight: Connor

Like Clockwork

by Connor Hills

                Argus Stahom locked the front door of his watch maker’s shop and gave a contended sigh as he head its metallic click.  He turned around and walked back to his work bench, his feet giving a light thud with each step.  Argus worked on a few unfinished repairs and though about his day.  “Ahh!” he remembered he needed to replace his left knee gear with the replacements he had received earlier that day.  Now that in and of itself may sound odd, but not only is his knee mechanical, in face his body was sixty percent gears and cogs.  Most people would call him an android, but he’s much more than that…much more.

                He stood up promptly after that thought, turned towards the bookcase and pushed a hidden button.  The bookcase sunk onto the floor opening up to a vast chamber.  Even now I still have yet to discover what lies beyond that opening, but I intend to find out.  My name is unimportant, because this is Argus’s story.
