.&.&.&&.&. 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)) .&.&.&.&.&

.&.&..&.&. 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. .&.&.&.&.&
