Clockwork Menagerie: A Shadows Of Asphodel Novella - Plot & Excerpts
The zeppelin’s fins bore the black double-headed eagle of Austria-Hungary. The Nachtigall. “Help!” He waved his arms over his head. “Please, help!” Propellers buzzing, the zeppelin held her own against a headwind.

Konstantin staggered toward the captain, his legs refusing to comply. “Theodore.” “God, it’s you.” Himmel caught him by the shoulders and hauled him upright. “I flew day and night looking for you.” “The telegram arrived at the hotel?” “Yes.” Himmel marched him toward the zeppelin. “Hurry.” Konstantin fumbled to grip the rungs by the hatch, but his numb fingers betrayed him. Himmel boosted him inside. When he crawled into the airship’s underbelly, his eyes watered at the difference in temperature.
