Review: Interesting Story but didn't hold my interest

I'm a fan of steampunk and I liked the small amount of steampunk that showed up in this short tale. What got me was the very odd language used through the story. A line like, "Wake me when half the night is through," seems very out of place in a Victorian Era setting when pocket watches should be readily available. When I read a short story like this, I feel that they should draw you in and want you to pick up another tale with the same characters to learn more about them. This tale left nothing for me to hope for and doesn't entice me to want to read another tale about these characters. As a free story, it was a good read. Grammer and formatting were done well.
