Dear Journal,
Claire Danes told me she was working on a Zappy-Zappy Thing 2.0. You remember the Zappy-Zappy Thing, right? It’s how we took out the artifact monster in China. Or maybe it was Tibet? We started the mission in Tibet, at a giant ancient monastery, found their underground tunnel system and made our way through the craziest set of traps and tricks in an underground tunnel that I still haven’t seen the likes of, two years later.
Maybe, after we reached the end of the maze, we were under China. I don’t know. The Father whisked our people straight to headquarters when Claire’s chicken-bomb went off. (If you read the book, you’ll remember that the magic of this underground maze made electricity impossible. Finding a fuse to power Claire’s Zappy-Zappy Thing was a chore. She landed on chickens. Quite ingenious, if you ask me.)
Anyway, I just learned that Claire has been working on a Zappy-Zappy Thing 2.0. (I didn’t name the weapon. Claire did. So don’t blame me.)Â
And if you read the book, you know how terrifying a second generation of that Zappy thing is. The first one? Her tests on a single atom opened up 11 black holes. Merlin had to come save the universe. Literally.
Kyle said it’s the first time he’s seen Claire sweat. I bet.
As you can imagine, the artifact monster was way bigger than one atom. Launching Claire’s new weapon was one of the hardest things I have ever done. There was a possibility we would not survive. Any of us.
