Destruction. Carnage. Millions dead. Western civilization turned into a battleground so big it will make the Trojan War look like a water-balloon fight." "Bad," I repeated.”

"I'll do it myself." But when I started down the side of the pool, she followed me, muttering about how boys always messed things up.”
