##££@^\«,, 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. ,,«\^@££##
