The Gears of Time

As I was walking around the ancient ruins, I noticed all the relics around. From ancient ruins to rusted steel, this site was truly a wonder to behold. But out of all the things that were here, what caught my eye the most was the giant rusty gears in the center of the site.

Judging by the size of them, they definitely could’ve been used in a large mechanism, but what machine would even need these gears? Could it have been an ancient clock tower that stood in these very ruins? I think it could be a plausible idea, but why would the gears be left over and nothing of the clock tower remains? The only answer I have is that the tower itself has degraded from time and exposure to the elements and eventually degraded into nothing. That’s the only answer I can come up with for this scenario.

The gears probably fell from the tower and stayed where they were, rusting and degrading from the rain in the region. Then again, how big could the tower have been? Because for all I know, this whole site could’ve just been one building that got destroyed by who knows what. Then again, that’s why I’m here. To unravel the mysteries surrounding this place and figure out how the entire area around here was destroyed. So hopefully, I’ll find my answers to what was standing in these ruins from so long ago and find out how it was destroyed.
