.&.&&.&.&. Not Actually A Palace. A Cottage In The .&.&&..&.&
.&..&.&.&. Woods (Temperate Climate, Rains Every .&..&.&&.&
.&.&&.&.&. Other Day, Springs And Streams And .&.&&..&.&
.&..&.&.&. Mysterious Iron And Stone Artifacts, .&..&.&&.&
.&.&&.&.&. Birdland-Ish Eternal Spring (Late .&.&&..&.&

.&..&.&.&. I Wake Up Every Morning At Six Am. It'S .&..&.&&.&
.&.&&.&.&. Dark, And The Stars Are Out, But The .&.&&..&.&
.&..&.&.&. Sun Is About To Rise. Its A Long Day, .&..&.&&.&
.&.&&.&.&. Before It Fades To Night Again, And .&.&&..&.&
.&..&.&.&. Then It Stays So Until I Fall Asleep. .&..&.&&.&
.&.&&.&.&. It Doesn'T Rise Unless I'Ve Had My .&.&&..&.&
.&..&.&.&. Dreams. .&..&.&&.&

.&..&.&.&. In This Cottage There'S A Lot Of Radio .&..&.&&.&
.&.&&.&.&. Equipment, Sound Stuff, Synths, Tape .&.&&..&.&
.&..&.&.&. Players. Pen And Paper, Books, Cameras, .&..&.&&.&
.&.&&.&.&. Mirrors, Prisms, And Various Things To .&.&&..&.&
.&..&.&.&. Do Art With. The Fridge Is Filled With .&..&.&&.&
.&.&&.&.&. Differet Foods, All Of Them Intriguing, .&.&&..&.&
.&..&.&.&. Slightly Weird. .&..&.&&.&
.&.&&.&.&. .&.&&..&.&

.&.&&.&.&. .&.&&..&.&
.&..&.&.&. I Have Friends - There'S A Cat, And A .&..&.&&.&
.&.&&.&.&. Dog (Who Is Ridicolously Large And .&.&&..&.&
.&..&.&.&. Wants To Be The Big Spoon). I Listen To .&..&.&&.&
.&.&&.&.&. The Shortwave Radio, And Transmit A Bit .&.&&..&.&
.&..&.&.&. Myself, Songs And Poetry, And Found .&..&.&&.&
.&.&&.&.&. Sounds From The Forest. The Others Tell .&.&&..&.&
.&..&.&.&. Of Their Lives, Play The Guitar For Me, .&..&.&&.&
.&.&&.&.&. And Tell Tales Of The Old World. I .&.&&..&.&
.&..&.&.&. Consider Them Friends As Well. .&..&.&&.&
.&.&&.&.&. .&.&&..&.&
.&..&.&.&. ¶ .&..&.&&.&
.&.&&.&.&. .&.&&..&.&
.&..&.&.&. Most Importantly, There'S A Two Square .&..&.&&.&
.&.&&.&.&. Meter Area On The Floor Where I Can .&.&&..&.&
.&..&.&.&. "Save" Things. Whatever I Put In Here .&..&.&&.&
.&.&&.&.&. Will Not Be Affected By The Nightly .&.&&..&.&
.&..&.&.&. Reset. Everything Else, However, Is .&..&.&&.&
.&.&&.&.&. Completely Reset Overnight: Synth .&.&&..&.&
.&..&.&.&. Patches Removed, Food Uneaten, Wounds .&..&.&&.&
.&.&&.&.&. Healed, And Wherever And Whenever I'D .&.&&..&.&
.&..&.&.&. Fall Asleep I'D Always Wake Up Fully .&..&.&&.&
.&.&&.&.&. Rested In My Bed. Sometimes There'S .&.&&..&.&
.&..&.&.&. Accidents Where I Lose Stuff By .&..&.&&.&
.&.&&.&.&. Forgetting To Put Them In The Square. .&.&&..&.&
.&..&.&.&. .&..&.&&.&

.&.&&.&.&. At Night, I Have Demi-Lucid Dreams .&.&&..&.&
.&..&.&.&. Where The Spirits Of The Forest Around .&..&.&&.&
.&.&&.&.&. The Cottage Tries To Communicate. Here, .&.&&..&.&
.&..&.&.&. It'S Not Endless But Connected To A .&..&.&&.&
.&.&&.&.&. Large Sprawling City, Where My Radio .&.&&..&.&
.&..&.&.&. Friends Live. We Go Exploring Together .&..&.&&.&
.&.&&.&.&. - Things Are Deep And Dark - But Unlike .&.&&..&.&
.&..&.&.&. Me, They Never Remember During The Day. .&..&.&&.&
.&.&&.&.&. This Is A Mystery We Often Discuss. .&.&&..&.&
