###££$;-^¨ dog (who is ridicolously large and ¨^-;$££###

#££$;-^¨¨¨ the shortwave radio, and transmit a bit ¨¨¨^-;$££#
££$;-^¨¨¨¨ myself, songs and poetry, and found ¨¨¨¨^-;$££
£$;-^¨¨¨¨¨ sounds from the forest. the others tell ¨¨¨¨¨^-;$£
$;-^¨¨¨¨¨¨ of their lives, play the guitar for me, ¨¨¨¨¨¨^-;$

#££$;-^¨¨¨ will not be affected by the nightly ¨¨¨^-;$££#

£$;-^¨¨¨¨¨ completely reset overnight: synth ¨¨¨¨¨^-;$£
$;-^¨¨¨¨¨¨ patches removed, food uneaten, wounds ¨¨¨¨¨¨^-;$

£$;-^¨¨¨¨¨ - things are deep and dark - but unlike ¨¨¨¨¨^-;$£
