The Clockwork Cuckoo
A giant mechanical cuckoo has appeared in the clock tower, laying brass eggs that hatch into tiny gears that rebuild random objects into birds. Cute until bridges become roosts. Dismantle the nest without stopping time, discover who wound the spring, and decide how much nature the town can automate.
