The Whirring Machine
The machine hums loudly, making the floor shake slightly. Its parts are big and heavy-looking, with shiny metal pieces that catch the light. A belt moves up and down, sending a small ball into a tube with a click every few seconds. The air smells like metal and oil. Occasionally, a loud bang echoes from inside as something shifts or clatters.
