.¤¤.¤.¤.¤¤ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ¤.¤..¤.¤.¤
..¤.¤.¤..¤ ¤.¤.¤¤.¤.¤
.¤¤.¤.¤.¤¤ There Was This Place That For Two Years ¤.¤..¤.¤.¤
..¤.¤.¤..¤ I Couldn'T Go To. Regardless How Much ¤.¤.¤¤.¤.¤
.¤¤.¤.¤.¤¤ Discussed With Others, Or Pointed Out ¤.¤..¤.¤.¤
..¤.¤.¤..¤ On Maps, I Could Not Think Of It When ¤.¤.¤¤.¤.¤
.¤¤.¤.¤.¤¤ Alone. I Would Often Travel Past The ¤.¤..¤.¤.¤
..¤.¤.¤..¤ Fork, Where A Right Turn Would Surely ¤.¤.¤¤.¤.¤
.¤¤.¤.¤.¤¤ Take Me There, But Even Then, Something ¤.¤..¤.¤.¤
..¤.¤.¤..¤ Kept Me Away. ¤.¤.¤¤.¤.¤
.¤¤.¤.¤.¤¤ ¤.¤..¤.¤.¤
..¤.¤.¤..¤ When I Finally Got There, After Some ¤.¤.¤¤.¤.¤
.¤¤.¤.¤.¤¤ Heavy Subconscious Battle I Must ¤.¤..¤.¤.¤
..¤.¤.¤..¤ Assume, The Place Was Surreal. An ¤.¤.¤¤.¤.¤
.¤¤.¤.¤.¤¤ Esker, Like A Needle-Thin Rift Out In ¤.¤..¤.¤.¤
..¤.¤.¤..¤ The Lake, But Ten Meters High And ¤.¤.¤¤.¤.¤
.¤¤.¤.¤.¤¤ Adorned In Birch, Willow, Bracken, And ¤.¤..¤.¤.¤
..¤.¤.¤..¤ Blueberries. ¤.¤.¤¤.¤.¤
.¤¤.¤.¤.¤¤ ¤.¤..¤.¤.¤
..¤.¤.¤..¤ Walking Atop That Spine, I Came To ¤.¤.¤¤.¤.¤
.¤¤.¤.¤.¤¤ Notice The View To Either Side. There ¤.¤..¤.¤.¤
..¤.¤.¤..¤ Should Be Shores, Of Course, But I ¤.¤.¤¤.¤.¤
.¤¤.¤.¤.¤¤ Didn'T Recognize Them. First Off, They ¤.¤..¤.¤.¤
..¤.¤.¤..¤ Were Much Too Close, As The Lake Should ¤.¤.¤¤.¤.¤
.¤¤.¤.¤.¤¤ Stretch For A Hundred Meters More On ¤.¤..¤.¤.¤
..¤.¤.¤..¤ Both Sides. But Now I Felt I Could ¤.¤.¤¤.¤.¤
.¤¤.¤.¤.¤¤ Almost Reach Out And Touch Them. And ¤.¤..¤.¤.¤
..¤.¤.¤..¤ Then, When I Realized Which Shores They ¤.¤.¤¤.¤.¤
.¤¤.¤.¤.¤¤ Were, I Had To Stop. ¤.¤..¤.¤.¤
..¤.¤.¤..¤ ¤.¤.¤¤.¤.¤
.¤¤.¤.¤.¤¤ They Were Of The Right Lake. But This ¤.¤..¤.¤.¤
..¤.¤.¤..¤ Lake Is Large, Fractured, And ¤.¤.¤¤.¤.¤
.¤¤.¤.¤.¤¤ Bipartite. Like A Pair Of Lungs Carved ¤.¤..¤.¤.¤
..¤.¤.¤..¤ Into The Granite, And With No Less Than ¤.¤.¤¤.¤.¤
.¤¤.¤.¤.¤¤ Five Communities Anchored At Various ¤.¤..¤.¤.¤
..¤.¤.¤..¤ Points. And So, Studying These ¤.¤.¤¤.¤.¤
.¤¤.¤.¤.¤¤ Impossibly Close Shores, I Slowly ¤.¤..¤.¤.¤
..¤.¤.¤..¤ Understood Them As Belonging Many Miles ¤.¤.¤¤.¤.¤
.¤¤.¤.¤.¤¤ Away. ¤.¤..¤.¤.¤
..¤.¤.¤..¤ ¤.¤.¤¤.¤.¤
.¤¤.¤.¤.¤¤ I Examined The Ridge, The Treeline ¤.¤..¤.¤.¤
..¤.¤.¤..¤ Above. Was This What You Saw Opposite, ¤.¤.¤¤.¤.¤
.¤¤.¤.¤.¤¤ From Those Other Shores? I Couldn'T ¤.¤..¤.¤.¤
..¤.¤.¤..¤ Remember. ¤.¤.¤¤.¤.¤
.¤¤.¤.¤.¤¤ ¤.¤..¤.¤.¤
..¤.¤.¤..¤ Carrying Forward, On The Very Tip Of ¤.¤.¤¤.¤.¤
.¤¤.¤.¤.¤¤ The Esker, I Found The Ruins Of Some ¤.¤..¤.¤.¤
..¤.¤.¤..¤ Old Building. There Were Overgrown ¤.¤.¤¤.¤.¤
.¤¤.¤.¤.¤¤ Marble Staircases, Stone Floors Beneath ¤.¤..¤.¤.¤
..¤.¤.¤..¤ The Moss, And Strange Slabs Inserted ¤.¤.¤¤.¤.¤
.¤¤.¤.¤.¤¤ Into The Slope Like Dams Against The ¤.¤..¤.¤.¤
..¤.¤.¤..¤ Ground Itself. ¤.¤.¤¤.¤.¤
.¤¤.¤.¤.¤¤ ¤.¤..¤.¤.¤
..¤.¤.¤..¤ Sitting There, I Could See Across The ¤.¤.¤¤.¤.¤
.¤¤.¤.¤.¤¤ Narrowed Lake My Entire Path To Where I ¤.¤..¤.¤.¤
..¤.¤.¤..¤ Sat: From The Stairwell Of My House, ¤.¤.¤¤.¤.¤
.¤¤.¤.¤.¤¤ Through The Old Woods Behind The Tile ¤.¤..¤.¤.¤
..¤.¤.¤..¤ Factory, The Bridge Over Route ¤.¤.¤¤.¤.¤
.¤¤.¤.¤.¤¤ Twenty three And Then Back Under It, ¤.¤..¤.¤.¤
..¤.¤.¤..¤ Through The Fancy Villas, Over The ¤.¤.¤¤.¤.¤
.¤¤.¤.¤.¤¤ Fields, And Then That Right Turn At The ¤.¤..¤.¤.¤
..¤.¤.¤..¤ Fork. ¤.¤.¤¤.¤.¤
.¤¤.¤.¤.¤¤ ¤.¤..¤.¤.¤
..¤.¤.¤..¤ And Then The Stairs Up On The Ridge. ¤.¤.¤¤.¤.¤
.¤¤.¤.¤.¤¤ Thinking Back, This Was Probably It. ¤.¤..¤.¤.¤
..¤.¤.¤..¤ Hidden In A Grove, There Were Stairs ¤.¤.¤¤.¤.¤
.¤¤.¤.¤.¤¤ Much Like The Ones I Currently Sat On, ¤.¤..¤.¤.¤
..¤.¤.¤..¤ Old And Worn Down, That Lead You Up ¤.¤.¤¤.¤.¤
.¤¤.¤.¤.¤¤ Onto The Esker. The Point Of Entry. Had ¤.¤..¤.¤.¤
..¤.¤.¤..¤ I Insted Opted To Walk The Path At Its ¤.¤.¤¤.¤.¤
.¤¤.¤.¤.¤¤ Foot, I'M Sure My Experience Would'Ve ¤.¤..¤.¤.¤
..¤.¤.¤..¤ Been Different Indeed. ¤.¤.¤¤.¤.¤

..¤.¤.¤..¤ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ¤.¤.¤¤.¤.¤
.¤¤.¤.¤.¤¤ ¤.¤..¤.¤.¤
..¤.¤.¤..¤ On The Lake, There Were People In ¤.¤.¤¤.¤.¤
.¤¤.¤.¤.¤¤ Boats. I Wondered, Could They Even See ¤.¤..¤.¤.¤
..¤.¤.¤..¤ Me? If I Shouted, Would They Turn To ¤.¤.¤¤.¤.¤
.¤¤.¤.¤.¤¤ Stare Right Through Me? ¤.¤..¤.¤.¤
