###&£%\«,, i wake up every morning at six am. it's ,,«\%£&###
###&£%\«,, dark, and the stars are out, but the ,,«\%£&###
#&%«,,,,,, sun is about to rise. its a long day, ,,,,,,«%&#
#£\,,,,,,, before it fades to night again, and ,,,,,,,\£#
&££££%\«,, then it stays so until i fall asleep. ,,«\%££££&

###&£%\«,, in this cottage there's a lot of radio ,,«\%£&###
#&%««,,,,, equipment, sound stuff, synths, tape ,,,,,««%&#
###&£%\«,, players. pen and paper, books, cameras, ,,«\%£&###
&&£%«,,,,, mirrors, prisms, and various things to ,,,,,«%£&&
####&£%\,, do art with. the fridge is filled with ,,\%£&####
##£%%%\«,, differet foods, all of them intriguing, ,,«\%%%£##
###&£%\«,, slightly weird. ,,«\%£&###

###&£%\«,, i have friends - there's a cat, and a ,,«\%£&###
##&&£%\«,, dog (who is ridicolously large and ,,«\%£&&##
##&£\\«,,, wants to be the big spoon). i listen to ,,,«\\£&##
&%%«,,,,,, 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, ,,,,,,\£&#
&£££\,,,,, and tell tales of the old world. i ,,,,,\£££&

&%%\\\«,,, most importantly, there's a two square ,,,«\\\%%&
###&£%\«,, meter area on the floor where i can ,,«\%£&###
#&£\,,,,,, "save" things. whatever i put in here ,,,,,,\£&#
#£%%%««,,, will not be affected by the nightly ,,,««%%%£#
#£\«,,,,,, reset. everything else, however, is ,,,,,,«\£#
###&£%\«,, completely reset overnight: synth ,,«\%£&###
###&£%\«,, patches removed, food uneaten, wounds ,,«\%£&###
###&£%\«,, healed, and wherever and whenever i'd ,,«\%£&###
##&%««,,,, fall asleep i'd always wake up fully ,,,,««%&##
&%\«,,,,,, rested in my bed. sometimes there's ,,,,,,«\%&
###&£%\«,, accidents where i lose stuff by ,,«\%£&###

###&£%\«,, it's not endless but connected to a ,,«\%£&###
##&££%\«,, large sprawling city, where my radio ,,«\%££&##
&%«,,,,,,, friends live. we go exploring together ,,,,,,,«%&
##&%%««,,, - things are deep and dark - but unlike ,,,««%%&##
###&£%\«,, me, they never remember during the day. ,,«\%£&###
