¨^~†@### 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 &&†††~^^¨¨
