  • From "Eugene and the Friend Machine"

    "In the bustling heart of Cincinnati, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and seventeen, lived a boy named Eugene. But for all the excitement and progress around him, Eugene often felt a quiet loneliness. He was a boy of sharp intellect and boundless curiosity, with eyes that sparkled when he spoke of gears and pulleys, and a mind that hummed with inventions yet to be conceived. He loved to read, devouring books about faraway lands and scientific discoveries, and his hands were always busy, tinkering with discarded clocks or sketching intricate designs in his worn notebook."
