#£§§;~,,,, ~ ~ ~ ~ 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. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ,,~;§@£###
###£@§;~,, ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ,,~;§@£###
###£@§;~,, ~ by then the elves would be gone. ~ ,,~;§@£###
