Hey, Schnujo! Thank you for the privilege of reviewing your excellent example of flash fiction.

*ButtonV*Overall Impression: This is an interesting piece of steampunk. It's almost poetic with the "sprocket in the pocket" to the point of nearly being Dr. Suess. These are great character vignettes that give the reader insights into the two main characters, Sprocket and Mr. Alexander.

*Pencil*Suggestions: The line “Sprocket! I can’t find my googles!” is a great example of how ubiquitous the online research tool, Google, has become, since I believe the word here is "goggles." I hope you will forgive me for pointing it out. Any of us could have done it, that's why it's slightly humorous.

*Apple*Punctuation/Spelling/Grammar: If I am remembering our Comma Sense Rules well, I feel safe that you are pretty accurate in this piece of prose.

*Heart*What I Like: I like the fact that you've written a short piece of steampunk believably. The characters are engaging and seem to interact well.

*StarB* A Rising Star Member to Member review.
