,,,,,,~^§£ 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". #£§^~,,,,,
