The Clockwork of Routine

Write a dramatic story with an allegory of clockwork or machinery to represent the mundane routine of everyday life.

In your story, a character’s life may be compared to a piece of clockwork, with monotonous cycles that they desperately want to break. Explore the effects of this confined existence on individuality and personal growth, leading potentially to rebellion or a complete breakdown. What is the cost of this routine, and is escaping it truly liberating?
