#..#....#. ~ ~ ~ ~ elves live in the  land ~ ~ ~  ~ ..#.......
.#..#....# ~ ~ ~  ~ beyond  the great dam.  ~ ~ ~ ~ ...#......
..#..#.... ~  it was built in  the late sixties.  ~ ....#.....
...#..#... ~ ~ ~  the elves came  to us then. ~ ~ ~ #....#....

......#..# they  were  very  manipulative,  and  we ...#....#.
.......#.. came to trust them. ~  ~  ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ us ....#....#
#.......#. kids  would play down at the  water even .....#....
.#.......# though we  were not allowed. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ #.....#...
..#....... ~  ~  sometimes  the sluice  would close .#.....#..
...#...... entirely, and  the  river  at  the  dams ..#.....#.
....#..... foot would  dry  up, revealing the rocky ...#.....#
#....#.... water  garden   that  had  been   hidden #...#.....
.#....#... beneath, and we would go there. ~  ~ ~ ~ .#...#....
..#....#.. ~  ~ ~ ~  before the dam  opened  again, ..#...#...
...#....#. there would be  a  signal, but the elves ...#...#..
....#....# would make  us not hear it, and suddenly ....#...#.
.....#.... we would find the  water rising, already #....#...#
#.....#... at  our knees. ~ ~  ~ ~ ~  ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ .#....#...
.#.....#.. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~  ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ..#....#..
