Ever tried building a mechanical puzzle that doubles as a story? I’ve been sketching a gear box that tells a plot as you turn it, and I could use a second pair of eyes to see if the narrative flow holds up.

Sure, the gears have to be in sync—otherwise the whole thing falls apart. I’ve set up a double‑helix gear train that nudges a hidden lever just before the final gear. That lever pulls a small latch, so the last gear flips sideways, flipping the whole thing back on itself. If you watch the torque curve, you’ll see a slight dip that signals the twist. It’s subtle, but it feels like a narrative cue for anyone who knows what to look for.
