..@@..@@@. clearing, narrow but immeasurably long. @@@..@@@@@
.@.@.@..@@ to your sides are walls made of trees, ..@.@....@
@@@@@@.@.. thick and ready to swallow you. the sun .@@@@...@@
.....@@@.@ is nowhere to be seen, but nontheless @...@..@..
....@..@@@ it is very bright - the air feels light @..@@.@@..
...@@.@..@ blue, almost white. @.@.@@.@..
..@.@@@.@@ @@@@.@@@..
.@@@..@@.@ along the span of the clearing lay two ...@@..@..

@.@..@.@@. you're moving upward along the wall of @..@@@@..@
@@@.@@@.@. a building. it's made of slabby stone, @.@...@.@.
