,,#,,,###, ground level, several elevators down, ,###,,#,##
#,,#,,#,## in the dark water where the surface ,#,##,,,##
##,,#,,,## light doesn't reach, and warmth comes ,,,###,,#,
###,,#,,#, mostly from below - here is the shower. ,,,#,##,,,
#,##,,#,,, ,,,,,###,,
,,###,,#,, it is dark. you strip, and it's cold. ,,,,,#,##,
,,#,##,,#, your feet feel the cold stone floor, ,,,,,,,###
#,,,###,,# your hands find the rubber handles to ,,,,,,,#,#
##,,#,##,, guide you into the cabin. #,,,,,,,,#
,##,,,###, ##,,,,,,,#
,###,,#,## and then, the hot water, the ###,,,,,,,
,#,##,,,## underground rain. drenching you, #,##,,,,,,
,,,###,,#, lathering you. infused with oils and ,,###,,,,,
,,,#,##,,, scents. and then, also from above, the ,,#,##,,,,
,,,,,###,, shower creatures. first their black ,,,,###,,,
,,,,,#,##, velvet arms, touching, and then entire ,,,,#,##,,
,,,,,,,### bodies. chests and snouts. ,,,,,,###,
,,,,,,,#,# ,,,,,,#,##
#,,,,,,,,# the creatures are meant to comfort you, #,,,,,,,##
##,,,,,,,# keep you entranced, and keep you from ,#,,,,,,#,
###,,,,,,, leaving the cabin prematurely. this ,,#,,,,,,,
#,##,,,,,, whole ordeal works best if you are not ,,,#,,,,,,
,,###,,,,, transformed too early, and are instead #,,,#,,,,,
,,#,##,,,, allowed to enjoy the shower for a while. ##,,,#,,,,
,,,,###,,, ###,,,#,,,
,,,,#,##,, you are steamed, caressed, cleaned, #,##,,,#,,
,,,,,,###, modified, liquified; dissolved and ,,###,,,#,
,,,,,,#,## 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 #,,,,,###,
,,,#,,,,,, hands gone, you step out. ,#,,,,#,##
