Wheels

In a sleek megacity where massive fly‑wheel engines power everything from transit grids to interstellar displays, Alph Agar presides over the sprawling Budd‑Jarvis Fly‑Wheels plant. Though his résumé brims with engineering triumphs, he hides a nervous secret—he can’t operate a fly‑wheel at all. When ambitious deputy Ker Kermit covertly signs both their names for the high‑stakes exhibition meant to impress a visiting Betelgeusian delegation, Agar finds himself thrust into a public challenge he’s woefully unprepared for.

Complicating matters, his secretary‑turned‑crush, Jean‑Jean, discovers the deception and demands a face‑saving solution before the board decides his fate. The story spins a witty blend of corporate rivalry, futuristic tech, and the awkwardness of a man trying to balance ambition, dignity, and a blooming romance. Listeners will be drawn into a fast‑paced, humor‑laden ride that asks whether a career built on calculations can survive when the real test is simply… staying upright.
