##@$§*~.¨¨   shower creatures. first their black    ¨¨.~*§$@##
###@$§*~.¨  velvet arms, touching, and then entire  ¨.~*§$@###

###@$§*~.¨     drained... and then brought back,    ¨.~*§$@###
##@$§*~.¨¨  slowly, waking as the water dries off   ¨¨.~*§$@##
###@$§*~.¨    of you. cabin open to the cold air    ¨.~*§$@###
##@$§*~.¨¨  tickling your fresh-born mind. creature ¨¨.~*§$@##
