Not a wallpaper, but by Tesla’s Coil check out these clocks. They’re amazing, and I want one so badly I can taste the copper in my mouth. It’s probable that I just bit my lip, but it could be that I’m fantisysing about licking one of these beauties.
… I don’t even want to know what that last sentence will do to my targeted Google ads. 0___0

We, however, have no idea what it is, and Lyra will not explain it. Also, it seems to have changed the cat into some kind of hidious mechanical contraption. Could you possibly inform us of what exactly you have given your great-granddaughter? We are currently in the basement, hiding from the cat-thing.
Included is a picture of Lyra.
All my love, Abigail
