,,,&&,,,&& CLEARING, NARROW BUT IMMEASURABLY LONG. ,&,&&,,,&,
,,&,&,,&,& TO YOUR SIDES ARE WALLS MADE OF TREES, &&&,&,,&&,
,&&&&,&&&& THICK AND READY TO SWALLOW YOU. THE SUN ,,&&&,&,&,

&,,&,&,,,, IT IS VERY BRIGHT - THE AIR FEELS LIGHT &&,&,,,,&&
&,&&&&,,,& BLUE, ALMOST WHITE. ,&&&,,,&,,
&&,,,&,,&& &,,&,,&&,&
,&,,&&,&,, ALONG THE SPAN OF THE CLEARING LAY TWO &,&&,&,&&,

,&&&&,,&,, METAL. SOMEHOW YOU CAN SEE HOW HEAVY ,&&,,,&&&&
&,,,&,&&,& THEY ARE. &,&,,&,,,&
