Floyd | Floyd | A huddled figure, crouched against the inside wall of the container, Floyd | looks up with surprise as the shutter opens. The shutter squeals as it Floyd | retracts fully, a loud buzz coming from the device. Floyd | Floyd | The person unfolds themself from their crouched position and stands Floyd | slowly. You watch them, entranced. They are the most beautiful person Floyd | you have ever seen. Floyd | Floyd | Appearing slightly dazed, the beautiful person looks around the area.

Amidst the intact houses, one ruin stands out. Floyd | Floyd | Little more than a burned-out husk, what was once a house is now Floyd | little more than a foundation and debris, any furniture reduced to a Floyd | lump of ash. A tall room fan lies on its side here. Floyd | Floyd | The Hydro Corridor is to the North. Floyd | Floyd | You can see a beautiful person here. Floyd | Floyd | As you approach, you see the beautiful person lift the fan gingerly Floyd | from the ground and set it upright. They dust off their hands, sigh, Floyd | and lean on the top of the fan. Floyd | Floyd | The beautiful person perks up, hearing a faint sound in the distance. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "I wonder if we can UNPOWER as well." | |

Floyd ] Tracks 56 Floyd | > Floyd | > N Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Tracks Floyd | The grassy ground marking the hydro corridor ends abruptly at a large Floyd | gravel lot within a copse of thick trees that blot out the sky. A Floyd | forklift stands in the middle of the lot as though abandoned in the Floyd | middle of its use. Near it is a standing floodlight. Miniature Floyd | warehouses line the North side of the corridor. The trees have been Floyd | cleared to the South, forming a field with several hay bales in a row. Floyd | To the East, half a dozen sets of train tracks cluster together. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Field 58 Floyd | > Floyd | > W Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Field Floyd | The grain stalks stand over a meter tall, allowing you only a low Floyd | vantage point across them. Gentle breezes set the surface of the field Floyd | rippling like cloth. Floyd | Floyd | The field ends to the West, leading to an undeveloped section of the Floyd | corridor. Further to the East you see a cluster of containers and Floyd | haulage equipment. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Little stands below. Floyd | Carefully pruned vegetation, low to the ground, covers the undeveloped Floyd | land beneath the towers. Floyd | Floyd | There's a stump here, on which sits an old portable radio. The radio Floyd | plays a quiet tune. Floyd | Floyd | Suburban housing stands in neat rows to the North and South. The flat Floyd | micro-savannah of the corridor gives way to a tall field of grain to Floyd | the East, and to the West is a small riverside park. Floyd | Floyd | You can see a beautiful person here.

Amidst the intact houses, one ruin stands out. Floyd | Floyd | Little more than a burned-out husk, what was once a house is now Floyd | little more than a foundation and debris, any furniture reduced to a Floyd | lump of ash. A tall room fan stands here. Floyd | Floyd | The Hydro Corridor is to the North. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd | Floyd | Upright and pointed directly at the ash-covered hulk, the fan Floyd | immediately kicks up a storm of gray particulate. Floyd | Floyd | After only a few moments, most of the ash is gone. An end table is Floyd | revealed, on which sits a framed photo and a lamp. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "ooo" | |

Floyd | Floyd | The beautiful person sees that the lamp has come on and walks to the Floyd | end table. They bend down slightly and pick up the framed photo. They Floyd | use their sleeve to wipe some of the ash from the surface. They look Floyd | at the photo for several moments. Floyd | Floyd | Covering their face with one hand, they hurry North.
