.&.&.&.&.& 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 &.&..&.&.&
.&.&.&.&.. Spring)) &.&.&&.&.&
.&.&.&.&.& &.&..&.&.&
.&.&.&.&.. ~ &.&.&&.&.&
.&.&.&.&.& &.&..&.&.&
.&.&.&.&.. 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. &.&..&.&.&
