&&&¨¨&&&&¨ no real geometry in the caves. you may ¨¨¨&&&¨¨&&
¨¨&¨&¨¨¨&¨ feel as if you are venturing into some ¨¨&¨¨&¨&¨¨
¨&&&&¨¨&&¨ vast structure, but you are in fact ¨&&¨&&&&¨¨
&¨¨¨&¨&¨&¨ leaving any such thing at the entrance. &¨&&¨¨¨&¨¨
&¨¨&&&&&&¨ &&¨&¨¨&&¨&
&¨&¨¨¨¨¨&& leaving physical tethers behind, ¨&&&¨&¨&&¨
&&&¨¨¨¨&¨& submitting to an inescapable darkness, &¨¨&&&&¨&&
¨¨&¨¨¨&&&¨ the world around you becomes more of a &¨&¨¨¨&&¨¨
¨&&¨¨&¨¨&& manifestation of your mind, or a &&&¨¨&¨&¨¨
&¨&¨&&¨&¨& collective mind, with a shape and a ¨¨&¨&&&&¨¨
&&&&¨&&&&¨ direction and a taste. ¨&&&¨¨¨&¨&
¨¨¨&&¨¨¨&& &¨¨&¨¨&&&¨
¨¨&¨&¨¨&¨¨ inescapeable darkness, because if you &¨&&¨&¨¨&¨
¨&&&&¨&&¨& bring a candle or mount electrical &&¨&&&¨&&¨
&¨¨¨&&¨&&& lights, the walls only serves as ¨&&¨¨&&¨&¨
&¨¨&¨&&¨¨¨ markers to where the tiny spatial &¨&¨&¨&&&&
&¨&&&¨&¨¨¨ existence ends and the darkness beneath &&&&&&¨¨¨¨
&&¨¨&&&¨¨& it begins. ¨¨¨¨¨&¨¨¨&
¨&¨&¨¨&¨&& ¨¨¨¨&&¨¨&¨
&&&&¨&&&¨& like an inverted mandelbrot, the real ¨¨¨&¨&¨&&¨
¨¨¨&&¨¨&&& cave is actually not the pockets, but ¨¨&&&&&¨&&
¨¨&¨&¨&¨¨¨ the black around them. keep that in ¨&¨¨¨¨&&¨&
¨&&&&&&¨¨¨ mind. &&¨¨¨&¨&&&

&¨¨&&&&¨¨¨ the moisture that permeates any cave &¨¨&&¨¨¨¨¨
&¨&¨¨¨&¨¨& worth it's name... it's the water the &¨&¨&¨¨¨¨&
&&&¨¨&&¨&¨ world rose from. it's the water you &&&&&¨¨¨&¨
¨¨&¨&¨&&&¨ drown in, in your dreams. ¨¨¨¨&¨¨&&&
¨&&&&&¨¨&¨ ¨¨¨&&¨&¨¨&
&¨¨¨¨&¨&&¨ the only sounds in the cave are those ¨¨&¨&&&¨&&
&¨¨¨&&&¨&& that you make yourselves. they may be ¨&&&¨¨&&¨¨
&¨¨&¨¨&&¨& distorted by the stone structure, and &¨¨&¨&¨&¨&
&¨&&¨&¨&&& amplified by your mind. try not to be &¨&&&&&&&¨
&&¨&&&&¨¨& alarmed, try to remember the persons &&¨¨¨¨¨¨&&
¨&&¨¨¨&¨&¨ and objects around you, and you can ¨&¨¨¨¨¨&¨¨
&¨&¨¨&&&&& discern a mirage from a friend. &&¨¨¨¨&&¨¨
