It took me a few minutes longer than it should have to get back into the room thanks to the electronic key card, which I’m adding to the long list of modern improvements I don’t care for. I just can’t get the hang of them. And by the time I do the world will probably have moved on to something even more annoying. On the positive side we seem to be getting closer to “open sesame” actually working, so I have that to look forward to.

’Is this magic? Did you cast a spell or something?’
‘Of course not,’ I said. ‘There’s no such thing as magic.’
She looked at me with the kind of disbelieving expression only a vampire can give to an immortal man who doesn’t believe in magic.

Something I learned a very long time ago was never interrupt a genius when he’s in the middle of something. Did that to Newton once. God that man had a temper.
