¨¨¨&¨&&¨&¨ the road is blocked. ¨&¨¨&¨¨&¨¨
¨¨&&&¨&&&¨ two creatures, alive, and a burning &&¨&&¨&&¨¨
¨&¨¨&&¨¨&¨ car. the windshield is shattered, ¨&&¨&&¨&¨¨
&&¨&¨&¨&&¨ from outside. &¨&&¨&&&¨¨

&¨&&¨&¨¨¨¨ the womans name is ~lynne~, she heads &&¨&¨&¨&&&
&&¨&&&¨¨¨¨ from the peninsula of kola - called ¨&&&&&&¨¨¨
¨&&¨¨&¨¨¨¨ there long ago by the depth of the &¨¨¨¨¨&¨¨&
&¨&¨&&¨¨¨¨ boring hole, now again returning to &¨¨¨¨&&¨&&
&&&&¨&¨¨¨¨ denser civilization. but she is not &¨¨¨&¨&&¨¨
¨¨¨&&&¨¨¨¨ human. she has long claws with which &¨¨&&&¨&¨&
¨¨&¨¨&¨¨¨¨ she picks out the flesh of her prey and &¨&¨¨&&&&&
¨&&¨&&¨¨¨¨ tears at it with her teeth, blood &&&¨&¨¨¨¨&
&¨&&¨&¨¨¨& dripping onto the dirt road. she does ¨¨&&&¨¨¨&&
&&¨&&&¨¨&& not look up from her killing. ¨&¨¨&¨¨&¨¨
¨&&¨¨&¨&¨& &&¨&&¨&&¨&
&¨&¨&&&&&& her steed is ~hornblende~, a dark ¨&&¨&&¨&&&
&&&&¨¨¨¨¨& horse, a glowing panther. she's an &¨&&¨&&¨¨¨
¨¨¨&¨¨¨¨&¨ extremely digitgrade thing, with a &&¨&&¨&¨¨&
¨¨&&¨¨¨&&& polite face. while her regular (and now ¨&&¨&&&¨&&
¨&¨&¨¨&¨¨¨ disinterested) mouth is responsible for &¨&&¨¨&&¨&
&&&&¨&&¨¨& eating plant matter (mostly fatty &&¨&¨&¨&&&
¨¨¨&&¨&¨&¨ fruits like avocado) her tail is ¨&&&&&&¨¨¨
¨¨&¨&&&&&& carnivorous and has a mouth (and will?) &¨¨¨¨¨&¨¨¨
¨&&&¨¨¨¨¨& of its own. the entire tail is hollow &¨¨¨¨&&¨¨¨
&¨¨&¨¨¨¨&¨ and juicy, and feels wonderful inside. &¨¨¨&¨&¨¨¨
