,,&&&,,,,& not actually a palace. a cottage in the ,,&,,&,,&&
,&,,&,,,&& woods (temperate climate, rains every ,&&,&&,&,&
&&,&&,,&,, other day, springs and streams and &,&&,&&&&&
,&&,&,&&,, mysterious iron and stone artifacts, &&,&&,,,,,
&,&&&&,&,, birdland-ish eternal spring (late ,&&,&,,,,,
&&,,,&&&,, spring)) &,&&&,,,,&
,&,,&,,&,, &&,,&,,,&,
&&,&&,&&,, - ,&,&&,,&&,
,&&,&&,&,, &&&,&,&,&&
&,&&,&&&,& 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. &&,,&,,&&,
,&,,,,&&&, it doesn't rise unless i've had my ,&,&&,&,&&
&&,,,&,,&& dreams. &&&,&&&&,&
,&,,&&,&,& ,,&&,,,&&,
&&,&,&&&&& % ,&,&,,&,&,
,&&&&,,,,& &&&&,&&&&&
&,,,&,,,&, 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 ,&,&&&&&&&
&&&&&,&&&& consider them friends as well. &&&,,,,,,&
,,,,&&,,,& ,,&,,,,,&,
,,,&,&,,&& @ ,&&,,,,&&,
,,&&&&,&,& &,&,,,&,&,
,&,,,&&&&& 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 &,&,&&&&&&
,&,,,&,,&& forgetting to put them in the square. &&&&,,,,,&
&&,,&&,&,, ,,,&,,,,&&
,&,&,&&&,& , ,,&&,,,&,,
&&&&&,,&&, ,&,&,,&&,,
,,,,&,&,&& at night, i have demi-lucid dreams &&&&,&,&,&
,,,&&&&&,& where the spirits of the forest around ,,,&&&&&&&
,,&,,,,&&, the cottage tries to communicate. here, ,,&,,,,,,&
,&&,,,&,&, 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. ,&&,&&,&,&
&&,&&,,&,, this is a mystery we often discuss. &,&&,&&&&&
