&.&.&.&&.& 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! .&.&.&&.&.
