@¤¤=^~,¨¨¨ woods (temperate climate, rains every ¨¨¨,~^=¤¤@

##@¤¤=^~,¨ mysterious iron and stone artifacts, ¨,~^=¤¤@##

##@¤¤=^~,¨ sun is about to rise. its a long day, ¨,~^=¤¤@##
#@¤¤=^~,¨¨ before it fades to night again, and ¨¨,~^=¤¤@#
@¤¤=^~,¨¨¨ then it stays so until i fall asleep. ¨¨¨,~^=¤¤@
#@¤¤=^~,¨¨ it doesn't rise unless i've had my ¨¨,~^=¤¤@#

##@¤¤=^~,¨ in this cottage there's a lot of radio ¨,~^=¤¤@##
#@¤¤=^~,¨¨ equipment, sound stuff, synths, tape ¨¨,~^=¤¤@#
@¤¤=^~,¨¨¨ players. pen and paper, books, cameras, ¨¨¨,~^=¤¤@
#@¤¤=^~,¨¨ mirrors, prisms, and various things to ¨¨,~^=¤¤@#
##@¤¤=^~,¨ do art with. the fridge is filled with ¨,~^=¤¤@##

@¤¤=^~,¨¨¨ i have friends - there's a cat, and a ¨¨¨,~^=¤¤@
#@¤¤=^~,¨¨ dog (who is ridicolously large and ¨¨,~^=¤¤@#
##@¤¤=^~,¨ wants to be the big spoon). i listen to ¨,~^=¤¤@##
#@¤¤=^~,¨¨ the shortwave radio, and transmit a bit ¨¨,~^=¤¤@#
@¤¤=^~,¨¨¨ myself, songs and poetry, and found ¨¨¨,~^=¤¤@
#@¤¤=^~,¨¨ sounds from the forest. the others tell ¨¨,~^=¤¤@#
##@¤¤=^~,¨ of their lives, play the guitar for me, ¨,~^=¤¤@##
#@¤¤=^~,¨¨ and tell tales of the old world. i ¨¨,~^=¤¤@#

@¤¤=^~,¨¨¨ most importantly, there's a two square ¨¨¨,~^=¤¤@

##@¤¤=^~,¨ "save" things. whatever i put in here ¨,~^=¤¤@##
#@¤¤=^~,¨¨ will not be affected by the nightly ¨¨,~^=¤¤@#
@¤¤=^~,¨¨¨ reset. everything else, however, is ¨¨¨,~^=¤¤@
#@¤¤=^~,¨¨ completely reset overnight: synth ¨¨,~^=¤¤@#
##@¤¤=^~,¨ patches removed, food uneaten, wounds ¨,~^=¤¤@##
#@¤¤=^~,¨¨ healed, and wherever and whenever i'd ¨¨,~^=¤¤@#
@¤¤=^~,¨¨¨ fall asleep i'd always wake up fully ¨¨¨,~^=¤¤@
#@¤¤=^~,¨¨ rested in my bed. sometimes there's ¨¨,~^=¤¤@#

@¤¤=^~,¨¨¨ where the spirits of the forest around ¨¨¨,~^=¤¤@
#@¤¤=^~,¨¨ the cottage tries to communicate. here, ¨¨,~^=¤¤@#
##@¤¤=^~,¨ it's not endless but connected to a ¨,~^=¤¤@##
#@¤¤=^~,¨¨ large sprawling city, where my radio ¨¨,~^=¤¤@#
@¤¤=^~,¨¨¨ friends live. we go exploring together ¨¨¨,~^=¤¤@
#@¤¤=^~,¨¨ - things are deep and dark - but unlike ¨¨,~^=¤¤@#
##@¤¤=^~,¨ me, they never remember during the day. ¨,~^=¤¤@##
