\-,¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ 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 ¨¨¨¨,-\$%@

#@%$\-,¨¨¨ most importantly, there's a two square ¨¨¨,-\$%@#

,¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ patches removed, food uneaten, wounds ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨,

\-,¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ fall asleep i'd always wake up fully ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨,-\
$\-,¨¨¨¨¨¨ rested in my bed. sometimes there's ¨¨¨¨¨¨,-\$

%$\-,¨¨¨¨¨ 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 ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨,-
