,,~\%%£¶## you find yourself in a rift - a ##¶£%%\~,,
,,,,,,,\%£ 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 #¶¶£%%\~,,

,,~\%%£¶## they are. ##¶£%%\~,,

,,~\%%£¶## intelligent designer, and full of ##¶£%%\~,,
