£^;~~.,.¨. my greatest treasure, the .¨.,.~~;^£
§&%*-:,.¨¨ book of stars, is a combined map, ¨¨.,:-*%&§
¶¤&^=~,¨¨, calendar and timepiece as long as you ,¨¨,~=^&¤¶
##¤$††»-,. know what year it is. every page is a .,-»††$¤##
###¤%†\=-, grid of nine starfields, hand drawn, ,-=\†%¤###
#¶£$*;~:¨¨ below which are written coordinates in ¨¨:~;*$£¶#
@#¤†*=,,,¨ both space and time. a lot of it is ¨,,,=*†¤#@
¤§*/=:.,.. applicable on earth, but not all. it ..,.:=/*§¤
&^;«^.,¨¨¨ hints of other places - some stars ¨¨¨,.^«;^&

~,.,,¨¨,,¨ impossible. ¨,,¨¨,,.,~

,.¨.,¨,..¨ those pages are exactly what i scramble ¨..,¨,.¨.,
..,.¨¨,.¨¨ for right now. i've stopped breathing. ¨¨.,¨¨.,..
,¨,,¨..¨¨. i sling open the book of stars a bit .¨¨..¨,,¨,
,,.¨¨¨.,.¨ too quick, spilling all my notes on the ¨.,.¨¨¨.,,
