No one was really sure when the first Tick-Tock was made. No one was even sure where the idea came from. It is true that the use of clockwork mechanisms had begun to slowly to spread throughout the City. First here, then there. Until it seemed almost every industry made use of them.

The City is a creature that rarely sleeps. It is a living, breathing, entity, and a smelly one at that. But few parts of the City were awake in the hours before dawn. It was an unseemly period, a time reserved for cutthroats and hooligans, or for happenstancers on their way home from somewhere, of probably nefarious geography. Nevertheless, the point...
