A sci-fi romantic comedy steampunk story about a young boy named Kinetta who has no knowledge of his real family. He was found off of the streets and adopted to the money hungry, power hungry Malzaheimer family. He is fascinated by steampunk and would want to study more about it and earn a masters in manufacturing steam powered machines. Only problem is that the idea of steampunk is dead in the year 2670, or so he thinks because of all of the teasing he gets from other citizens of Mizra. He then discovers that planet Elyssia has came back into existence after the War on Technology that happened 20 years ago when it was removed from the solar system. He was then determined to live his dreams of going to that planet and possibly find someone to love. Though can he find a crew and his love to aid him on his dream?

A singing automaton performs each night in Atlantic City. Like every work of art, the toy has a fascinating story behind her creation. An old barfly recounts the tale to a young server, teaching him the power of technology in helping man cope with life's trials of love, loss and regret. This is one of my earlier works, which was published in the Spring 2015 issue of Mad Scientist Journal.
