The Machinery of Metaphor

✨ Writing Prompt

Imagine a world where manufacturing processes are not just mechanical routines but characters in a story. Write a short narrative (1500-2000 words) where each key element of a manufacturing process represents a distinct character with its own motivations and conflicts. For example, the conveyor belt could be a steadfast, reliable character, while the robotic arm embodies ambition and innovation. Your task is to explain a specific manufacturing process (e.g., assembly line production, quality control, or material processing) through these characters, weaving technical details seamlessly into the narrative to enhance understanding for both technical and non-technical readers.
