The Write-by-Post Steampunk Story Thread

Until the veins in his neck looked like pressure valves. Until steam itself seemed to propel from his cauliflower ears. Wolfgang had a steely glare and a grip to match, thanks to those mechanical limbs. Thanks, especially, to the intervention of the madly brilliant scientist Professor Maxim Guffendorflegogger: Wolfgang's own emotionally distant father.

But right now, Wolfgang was about to change the course of his life, as he faced down the steaming behemoth bearing down upon him and the injured boy. Always a man quick to anger, always a man quick to be blamed (and rightly so) Wolfgang was about to become a hero...
