,,&,,,,&,, 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 ,&&&,,&,&&
&,,,,&,,,, PARALLEL SILVERY LINES, DARK HARD ,&,&&,,,&&
&&,,,,&,,, METAL. SOMEHOW YOU CAN SEE HOW HEAVY ,,,&&&,,&,
&&&,,,,&,, THEY ARE. ,,,&,&&,,,
&,&&,,,,&, ,,,,,&&&,,
