Even the handcuff that pinned her left hand to a support arch shimmered as the transelectric field rippled through it, but as she was grounded to the same pole it left her with little  more than a shudder.<\/p>\n<p>As the Clockwork Time Machine rattled and clacked, ticked and swayed through the tunnels of possibility, Jeremiah hunched in a little ball by the pillar in her bloodied shift, her left hand high over her head, twisting uselessly in the cuff as two footmen stood over her, watching, their six-strings at the ready. It made her feel small and helpless, even though they\u2019d made the mistake of cuffing her bad hand; but she hadn\u2019t the heart to do her usual scheming for escape.<\/p>\n<p>She had to see this through.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>-the Centaur<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just reached 70,000 total words in THE CLOCKWORK TIME MACHINE &#8230; 58,735 total added during this month, so it looks good to hit 60,000 words tomorrow.
