~undefined &^ THE BALCONY WAS ILL TAKEN CARE OF, ^& undefined~
~undefined  ^ AND LOOKED A BIT LIKE A FORGOTTEN  ^  undefined~
~undefined  ^ STORAGE CLOSET, AND WITH BIRD SHIT ^  undefined~
~undefined  ^  ON THE FLOOR THAT YOU WOULD HAVE  ^  undefined~
~undefined &^ TO STEP AROUND. WE WERE SITTING ON ^& undefined~
~undefined  ^   A FEW MISMATCHED CUSHIONS (I'M   ^  undefined~
~undefined  ^  MAKING UP A FOX COMPANION HERE,   ^  undefined~
~undefined  ^  LIKE A HOLOGRAM) PRESSED AGAINST  ^  undefined~
~undefined &^ THE WALL, WATCHING THE WORLD END,  ^& undefined~

~undefined  ^                                    ^  undefined~
~undefined  ^    THE NIGHT SKY A SOLID GRAY,     ^  undefined~
~undefined &^   LIGHTER THAN THE TREES ON OUR    ^& undefined~
~undefined  ^  HILL, LIGHTER THAN THE SLEEPING   ^  undefined~
~undefined  ^  CITY SPILLING OUT AROUND US. THE  ^  undefined~
~undefined  ^      GLOW OF THE FOX SLIGHTLY      ^  undefined~
~undefined &^  ILLUMINATING THE MESS AROUND OUR  ^& undefined~
~undefined  ^ RESTING PLACE, NOT MORE INTRUSIVE  ^  undefined~

~undefined  ^   ITSELF, SHOWING DEEP RIFTS AND   ^  undefined~
~undefined  ^   BIOLUMINESCENT NEBULAS. AND IT   ^  undefined~
~undefined  ^       MOVED, NO DOUBT ALIVE.       ^  undefined~
~undefined &^                                    ^& undefined~
~undefined  ^  BUT THE NEXT MOMENT, GONE AGAIN:  ^  undefined~
~undefined  ^ AS ABRUBTLY AS IT DISAPPEARED, THE ^  undefined~
~undefined  ^  GRAY WALL WAS BACK. AN ORDINARY   ^  undefined~
~undefined &^          NIGHT ONCE MORE.          ^& undefined~
