$^~^¨¨¨¨¨¨   if you follow a dirt road north just   ¨¨¨¨¨¨^~^$
¤$^~^¨¨¨¨¨   within the second ring, and navigate   ¨¨¨¨¨^~^$¤
¤¤$^~^¨¨¨¨  the overgrown maze of the north-eastern ¨¨¨¨^~^$¤¤
#¤¤$^~^¨¨¨   residential district, eventually you   ¨¨¨^~^$¤¤#
##¤¤$^~^¨¨     arrive at what looks like a large    ¨¨^~^$¤¤##
###¤¤$^~^¨    fenced-in grove of bird cherry and    ¨^~^$¤¤###
##¤¤$^~^¨¨        juniper. it's quite large,        ¨¨^~^$¤¤##
#¤¤$^~^¨¨¨     and will take a while to circle,     ¨¨¨^~^$¤¤#
¤¤$^~^¨¨¨¨  especially since it's got gardens and   ¨¨¨¨^~^$¤¤
¤$^~^¨¨¨¨¨  walls sticking out of it in more than a ¨¨¨¨¨^~^$¤
$^~^¨¨¨¨¨¨     few places. but keep going, and      ¨¨¨¨¨¨^~^$
^~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨   eventually there'll be lilacs, and a   ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~^
~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨            hole in the fence.            ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~
^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨                                          ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ go inside. well, it's hollow,  and hides ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ a  pale swamp  (herons, mosquitos). it's ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ brighter  here, and  the  sounds of  the ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ city seem distant. but  there's a second ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ grove inside.  zig  zag between  puddles ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ and   sinking    shipping    containers, ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^
~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ because  toward the  inner treeline  the ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~
^~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ ground     becomes      solid     again. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~^
$^~^¨¨¨¨¨¨                                          ¨¨¨¨¨¨^~^$
¤$^~^¨¨¨¨¨  go inside. this time there's a cracked  ¨¨¨¨¨^~^$¤
¤¤$^~^¨¨¨¨  parking lot, with sprinkled dandelions, ¨¨¨¨^~^$¤¤
#¤¤$^~^¨¨¨    lined by wisteria. east of it is an   ¨¨¨^~^$¤¤#
##¤¤$^~^¨¨  abandoned building, what used to house  ¨¨^~^$¤¤##
###¤¤$^~^¨      an old restaurant. the paint is     ¨^~^$¤¤###
##¤¤$^~^¨¨  chipping, some windows are broken, but  ¨¨^~^$¤¤##
#¤¤$^~^¨¨¨        the signage is still there:       ¨¨¨^~^$¤¤#
¤¤$^~^¨¨¨¨                                          ¨¨¨¨^~^$¤¤
¤$^~^¨¨¨¨¨             "indian palace".             ¨¨¨¨¨^~^$¤
