It's just somewhere I go when I dream. It's kind of
my place and so I go there sometimes just to map out
new branches of the place. There are people living
down there too, but not everyone can see them. It
also has a curio shoppe, gift boutique and a number of
other modern amenities.

But I may borrow the book when I am well enough to
have folk over again.
