,,,,~~;%#@ 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 ##@#%§;~~,
