Cleopatra leaped to her feet and paced. Timaeus–was Timaeus in the burning Library? and then foolishly, but what about the last scroll of the treatise on automata? She wouldn’t know how it turned out. And that she most passionately wanted to know–along with that question of the steam-whirligig, that someone had spoken of. Like a water-wheel, only driven by heated steam.

Your voice is always so utterly unique. Love this.
So many questions! Love your snippet!
so much history poured into today’s world
Love the unexpected contrast of the steam-whirligig amidst all the history. Intriguing snippet. (And thanks for checking out all my posts, E.P.)
Actually, the steam-whirligig is historical; google “aeolipile.” Nearly all of the ingredients for a working steamship exist by the time Cleopatra is born.
Very nice. I’ve always been interested in the roots of scilence.
