[Eileen]

These are four very short stories written as an hommage to some of the great works of Steampunk. The protagonists are real people who contributed their names and biographical info as part of a fund-raiser for the Clarion West Writers Workshop. They work best for people who know the original stories: "The Difference Engine" by Gibson & Sterling, "Night of the Cooters" by Howard Waldrop, Perdido Street Station by China Mieville, and "Internal Devices" by KW Jeter.
