,,#,##,,#, ground level, several elevators down, ,,,#,##,,,
,,,,###,,, in the dark water where the surface ,,,,,###,,
,,,,#,##,, light doesn't reach, and warmth comes ,,,,,#,##,
,,,,,,###, mostly from below - here is the shower. #,,,,,,###
#,,,,,#,## ,#,,,,,#,#
##,,,,,,## it is dark. you strip, and it's cold. ,,#,,,,,,#
,##,,,,,#, your feet feel the cold stone floor, ,,,#,,,,,#
,###,,,,,, your hands find the rubber handles to ,,,,#,,,,,
,#,##,,,,, guide you into the cabin. #,,,,#,,,,
,,,###,,,, ,#,,,,#,,,
,,,#,##,,, and then, the hot water, the ,,#,,,,#,,
,,,,,###,, underground rain. drenching you, ,,,#,,,,#,
,,,,,#,##, lathering you. infused with oils and ,,,,#,,,,#
#,,,,,,### scents. and then, also from above, the ,,,,,#,,,,
,#,,,,,#,# shower creatures. first their black ,,,,,,#,,,
,,#,,,,,,# velvet arms, touching, and then entire ,,,,,,,#,,
,,,#,,,,,# bodies. chests and snouts. #,,,,,,,#,
,,,,#,,,,, ##,,,,,,,#
#,,,,#,,,, the creatures are meant to comfort you, ###,,,,,,,
,#,,,,#,,, keep you entranced, and keep you from #,##,,,,,,
,,#,,,,#,, leaving the cabin prematurely. this ,,###,,,,,
,,,#,,,,#, whole ordeal works best if you are not ,,#,##,,,,
,,,,#,,,,# transformed too early, and are instead #,,,###,,,
,,,,,#,,,, allowed to enjoy the shower for a while. ##,,#,##,,
,,,,,,#,,, ,##,,,###,
,,,,,,,#,, you are steamed, caressed, cleaned, ,###,,#,##
#,,,,,,,#, modified, liquified; dissolved and ,#,##,,,##
##,,,,,,,# drained... and then brought back, ,,,###,,#,
###,,,,,,, slowly, waking as the water dries off ,,,#,##,,,
#,##,,,,,, of you. cabin open to the cold air ,,,,,###,,
,,###,,,,, tickling your fresh-born mind. creature ,,,,,#,##,
,,#,##,,,, hands gone, you step out. ,,,,,,,###
