¤£†/~:¨¨¨¨ i wake up every morning at  six am. it's ¨¨¨¨:~/†£¤

##@¤£†/~:¨ before  it fades  to  night  again,  and ¨:~/†£¤@##
#@¤£†/~:¨¨ then  it  stays so until i fall  asleep. ¨¨:~/†£¤@#

£†/~:¨¨¨¨¨   equipment, sound stuff, synths, tape   ¨¨¨¨¨:~/†£
¤£†/~:¨¨¨¨ players.  pen and paper, books, cameras, ¨¨¨¨:~/†£¤

†/~:¨¨¨¨¨¨ 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. ¨¨¨¨¨:~/†£

¤£†/~:¨¨¨¨ 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. ¨¨¨¨¨:~/†£
