###%†;~^.. my greatest treasure, the ..^~;†%###
####£%;«,¨ book of stars, is a combined map, ¨,«;%£####
##¶£^^=~,¨ calendar and timepiece as long as you ¨,~=^^£¶##
#@£*/«:¨¨. know what year it is. every page is a .¨¨:«/*£@#
@£§\».¨,¨¨ grid of nine starfields, hand drawn, ¨¨,¨.»\§£@
§=/«^,,,¨, below which are written coordinates in ,¨,,,^«/=§
$/-~,,,,¨¨ both space and time. a lot of it is ¨¨,,,,~-/$
/«-,,.,.¨. applicable on earth, but not all. it .¨.,.,,-«/
~,,¨,,,,¨¨ hints of other places - some stars ¨¨,,,,¨,,~
~.,..¨,.¨¨ reordered, some names i have never ¨¨.,¨..,.~

¨,¨¨,,,¨.. impossible. ..¨,,,¨¨,¨

.,¨¨,.,,.¨ those pages are exactly what i scramble ¨.,,.,¨¨,.
....,¨¨,.¨ for right now. i've stopped breathing. ¨.,¨¨,....
¨¨,¨..¨¨¨, i sling open the book of stars a bit ,¨¨¨..¨,¨¨
¨¨,,.¨,..¨ too quick, spilling all my notes on the ¨..,¨.,,¨¨
