&&,,,,&&&& 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)) ,,&&&&,,,,
&&,,,,&&&, ,,,&&,,&&&
&,,&&,,&,, ยป &&,,,,,,&&
,,,,,,,,,, ,,,&&&&,,&
,&&&&&&&&& 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. ,,,,,,,,,,
