###&%$*-~¨                                          ¨~-*$%&###
##&%$*-~¨¨   if you follow a dirt road north just   ¨¨~-*$%&##
###&%$*-~¨   within the second ring, and navigate   ¨~-*$%&###
##&%$*-~¨¨ the overgrown maze of the north-eastern  ¨¨~-*$%&##
###&%$*-~¨   residential district, eventually you   ¨~-*$%&###
##&%$*-~¨¨     arrive at what looks like a large    ¨¨~-*$%&##
###&%$*-~¨    fenced-in grove of bird cherry and    ¨~-*$%&###
##&%$*-~¨¨        juniper. it's quite large,        ¨¨~-*$%&##
###&%$*-~¨     and will take a while to circle,     ¨~-*$%&###
##&%$*-~¨¨  especially since it's got gardens and   ¨¨~-*$%&##
###&%$*-~¨ walls sticking out of it in more than a  ¨~-*$%&###
##&%$*-~¨¨     few places. but keep going, and      ¨¨~-*$%&##
###&%$*-~¨   eventually there'll be lilacs, and a   ¨~-*$%&###
##&%$*-~¨¨            hole in the fence.            ¨¨~-*$%&##
###&%$*-~¨                                          ¨~-*$%&###
##&%$*-~¨¨ go inside. well, it's hollow,  and hides ¨¨~-*$%&##
###&%$*-~¨ a pale  swamp (herons,  mosquitos). it's ¨~-*$%&###
##&%$*-~¨¨ brighter here,  and  the  sounds  of the ¨¨~-*$%&##
###&%$*-~¨ city  seem distant. but there's a second ¨~-*$%&###
##&%$*-~¨¨ grove inside.  zig  zag between  puddles ¨¨~-*$%&##
###&%$*-~¨ and    sinking   shipping    containers, ¨~-*$%&###
##&%$*-~¨¨ because  toward  the inner treeline  the ¨¨~-*$%&##
###&%$*-~¨ ground     becomes      solid     again. ¨~-*$%&###
##&%$*-~¨¨                                          ¨¨~-*$%&##
###&%$*-~¨  go inside. this time there's a cracked  ¨~-*$%&###
##&%$*-~¨¨  parking lot, with sprinkled dandelions, ¨¨~-*$%&##
###&%$*-~¨    lined by wisteria. east of it is an   ¨~-*$%&###
##&%$*-~¨¨  abandoned building, what used to house  ¨¨~-*$%&##
###&%$*-~¨     an old restaurant. the paint is      ¨~-*$%&###
##&%$*-~¨¨  chipping, some windows are broken, but  ¨¨~-*$%&##
###&%$*-~¨       the signage is still there:        ¨~-*$%&###
##&%$*-~¨¨                                          ¨¨~-*$%&##
###&%$*-~¨             "indian palace".             ¨~-*$%&###
