Prompt

There was a strange machine in the middle of the pond, covered in moss and mystery. Its rusted gears creaked with the gentle sway of the water, as if it had been abandoned long ago. No one knew where it came from or what it was supposed to do. Some said it was a forgotten invention, while others believed it was an alien artifact. But one thing was certain - the machine had a strange aura about it, almost as if it was watching over the pond, waiting for someone to unlock its secrets.
