#,#,#,#,#,   GROVE AT THE END OF A DIRT ROAD, AND   #,#,#,#,#,
#,#,#,#,#,   THE BARN WAS PLACED SO YOU COULD JUST  #,#,#,#,#,

#,#,#,#,#,     WE DID CRIME, AND WE MADE WEIRD      #,#,#,#,#,
#,#,#,#,#,  STRUCTURES IN THE BARN, TALL PILLARS OF #,#,#,#,#,
#,#,#,#,#,  DARK WOOD, LADDERS AND PLATEAUS, FIRES  #,#,#,#,#,
