,,~^$££@@# the railmakers are siemens-manufactured #@@££$^~,,
,,~^$$$$$£ brick-like things. fields of gray and £$$$$$^~,,
,,~^$££@@# teal, floodlights, thrumming and #@@££$^~,,
,,~^$££@@# hissing. trilling to each other, like #@@££$^~,,

,,~^$££££@ i'm coming up on them from behind and @££££$^~,,
,,~^$££@## to the left, hidden behind the thick ##@££$^~,,

,,,,^$$$$£ between the leaves, casting rays £$$$$^,,,,
,,~^$££@@# through the wet air, playing over my #@@££$^~,,
,,~^$£££££ face and arms, and my weapon. i quickly £££££$^~,,

,,~^$££@## just as the light of the leading two is ##@££$^~,,
