@#%*^-,¨¨¨ NOT ACTUALLY A PALACE. A COTTAGE IN THE ¨¨¨,-^*%#@
#@#%*^-,¨¨ WOODS (TEMPERATE CLIMATE, RAINS EVERY ¨¨,-^*%#@#
##@#%*^-,¨ OTHER DAY, SPRINGS AND STREAMS AND ¨,-^*%#@##
#@#%*^-,¨¨ MYSTERIOUS IRON AND STONE ARTIFACTS, ¨¨,-^*%#@#

#@#%*^-,¨¨ 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. ¨¨¨,-^*%#@
