A KING OR TWO
Wandering the dead wasteland between the city and the Abrahamic Corporation, you spot a clockwork in the distance. Believing it to be an angel, you half wave to it in acknowledgment. It begins to scurry towards you much faster than you could imagine.
It is then that you realize, too late, that this is not an angel.

The clockwork is larger than you thought. It forms a flesh wall of eyes and mouths around you. You're going to die, you know it.

Until the clockwork, eyes bulging, clasps its hands together.
"Are you..... the birthday boy?"
"Are you..... the birthday boy?"

The clockwork pats itself down, digging through pockets for something.
"We got lost... birthday boy. But it is so good to see you, finally."

The clockwork pulls out creature cages from his inventory.
"We three offer you lovely gifts. Our pets will please the soul."
