.&..&.&.&. the power plant and its satellite &..&.&&..&
.&.&&.&.&. buildings glisten on the far side of &.&&..&.&&
.&..&.&.&. the pristine town lake. wood is burned &..&.&&..&
.&.&&.&.&. to make electricity and heat. or at &.&&..&.&&
.&..&.&.&. least, that was true for a while. but &..&.&&..&
.&.&&.&.&. all the engineers come from other towns &.&&..&.&&
.&..&.&.&. these days. us locals are now only good &..&.&&..&
.&.&&.&.&. to be janitors, or security guards, &.&&..&.&&
.&..&.&.&. maybe. &..&.&&..&
.&.&&.&.&. &.&&..&.&&
.&..&.&.&. well, here it is: &..&.&&..&
.&.&&.&.&. &.&&..&.&&
.&..&.&.&. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& &..&.&&..&
.&.&&.&.&. & "wood is burned" - false. it's fed & &.&&..&.&&
.&..&.&.&. & through some sinister process and & &..&.&&..&
.&.&&.&.&. & turned into a strange chemical. & &.&&..&.&&
.&..&.&.&. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& &..&.&&..&
.&.&&.&.&. &.&&..&.&&
.&..&.&.&. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& &..&.&&..&
.&.&&.&.&. & "the plant makes electricity and & &.&&..&.&&
.&..&.&.&. & heat" - false. this is all supplied & &..&.&&..&
.&.&&.&.&. & from somewhere else. the plant is & &.&&..&.&&
.&..&.&.&. & used to make the chemical, and for & &..&.&&..&
.&.&&.&.&. & releasing it into the lake. & &.&&..&.&&
.&..&.&.&. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& &..&.&&..&
.&.&&.&.&. &.&&..&.&&
.&..&.&.&. the chemical that is released into the &..&.&&..&
.&.&&.&.&. water we drink, and the forests where &.&&..&.&&
.&..&.&.&. we hunt and forage, is called pfa, and &..&.&&..&
.&.&&.&.&. it is a plasticine agent. it collects &.&&..&.&&
.&..&.&.&. over time in all organic beings, &..&.&&..&
.&.&&.&.&. actively changing their molecular &.&&..&.&&
.&..&.&.&. makeup. simply put, they are turning us &..&.&&..&
.&.&&.&.&. into plastic! &.&&..&.&&
