The gears of the toy had been well hidden inside the torso of the human-like toy, encased in a box inside *another* box, which at first glance had looked to have no seal. Opening this second box, Oliver was confused to see that all was in order: the gears were still turning from the force of the mainspring. Had this been a watch, it would be merrily ticking away. Oliver unwound the mainspring, hoping to force the mechanism to stop, in order to start it again, with a smoother functioning. "Help me." He froze; waited. "Help me." What?! The gears had stopped turning: the toy should be dead. "Help me." ~~~ Dark happenings are the name of the game, when an unsuspecting tinker's son unearths the sinister workings of clockwork toys... When the spirits who oversee the transport of human souls after life become involved, the fate of the world hangs in the balance.
