January 4th Mother Iodide tells us stories of the exodus every night. Sometimes, she tells us Saint Charmaine came to warn her parents that the robots were coming, and that's how they escaped from Las Vegas. Sometimes she says the robots woke her in the middle of the night, wearing her parents' faces like masks. I don't know which is right. Maybe neither. Iodide looks into the glow sometimes, and it does something to her. Anyway, I'm pretty sure the robots were real. All the parents say so. Big spindly robots. Like spiders. And they were coming to destroy humanity. They wanted us dead, but we escaped. Like spiders, hiding from a big shoe.

So we survived. The Servants of the Mushroom Cloud. We were led across the mountains by Einstein and Oppenheimer, to this place, which the parents say is sacred. It is the place of the Eternal Glow. The Holy Detonation. The place Saint Charmaine promised us.

February 13th Mother Iodide gave me more of my medicine. It's beautiful and it glows, and I feel like I'm singing in the temple, but it hurts too. My gums are soft and swollen and they bleed sometimes. But at least the robots didn't kill us. At least we're free.

March 8th Mother Iodide gave herself to the Holy Detonation today. A sacrifice, she said, to help the scholars find the grand equation, which will save us all and make us well again.

Maybe I should be a sacrifice too.

I'm so tired. My teeth hurt.

It's hard to think. My dreams don't stop in daytime now.

I eat my teeth.

All hail the Mushroom Cloud.,
