I like all the gears and rust in your story — the sort of organic machine.

Have you noticed there’s a coughing theme in all our stories? You: “Hacking out a deep, rattling cough he spat into a dirty handkerchief and stuffed it into his pocket.” Me: “…the words clogged by a throat full of phlegm. He hacked up a gob of it and spat it into the far corner of the crate.” Donald Jacob Uitvlugt: “Saliva caught in his throat, congealed there. He coughed again, trying to dislodge it.” Funny, huh?
