An Unexpected Victorian Fantasy

premise

Gale is plagued by the dream of invention, a motorised bicycle fuelled by keroene and capable of carrying a man further and faster than any horse or beast of burden. And what a dream it has become.

I dreamt I rode upon a steel horse filled with fire; each hoof was filled with thunder, each breath belched flames as it tore across the sky. I could feel each tremble in its gate, as eight legs worked in unison and left behind its lesser in a wake of lightning and ash.

Gale's goal is to build the first motorised bicycle and patent it. The unusual case here is that there is no set villain, but more that things are delayed due to breakages or environmental factors. Later on, this may change into the villain being "the system" which may or may not hinder Gale in getting a patent - of course, this may also depend on.

For additional protection, Gale should probably make a record of their progress and legally submit it to a vault for safe keeping (on the chance someone tries to steal their ideas) - it is otherwise known as a "Inventor's Notebook".
