Fantasy Steampunk
Ernst, the first man made of clockwork, is hailed as a
marvel of late 19th-century automation and gains endless
admirers, but when his love for the daughter of his creator
is abruptly cut short, his serene existence is shattered.
Forlorn, he allows himself to wind down in a willful act of
defiant suicide. Now, more than 100 years later, he awakens
to a new world and mentor—a well-meaning, if slightly
unstable, homeless man. Attempting to piece together the
events that brought him to this new home, Ernst tries to let
go of the century-old tragedy that still haunts him. This
story of science fiction realism delves into the thoughts,
feelings, and desires of a character who must deal with the
poignant social repercussions of having been built, rather
than born.
