There were times Jr. didn't like art, but now he found himself arrested by the little steel and brass object on display.
It was all gears and rings and delicate components. If he wound a little key at the base its parts would start revolving.
It was beautiful.
It was his second time seeing it.
The first had been an image in a book he'd seen within the mind of a twelve-year-old girl.
Was this spinning sculpture the original of that image, or had two different people wanted to see the same thing made real?
He wound the key again.
