Dear Audra,

I know this is almost impossible to believe, but I am you, just… in an alternate reality. As proof: I know what is in Locker 5878. Only we know that there is a Locker 5878 and why it is necessary.

Now that that’s out of the way, I need you to get to Chicago ASAP and meet with Professor Jace Hale. Give him the attached page to this letter. If you read it, don’t panic. We have successfully kept your world from imploding over a dozen times already, so we’re pros at this now. However, because of a shift between our worlds, I have lost touch with him. Now the only way to communicate with him at this point is through our alternate selves, and I don’t know how much longer that will last.

In view of the above, I am going to need to communicate with him frequently through you while there’s still a connection. If we’re successful, our two worlds will merge and no one will know the difference. If we fail, your world will cease to exist.

I know I can count on you.

With warm regards,

You
