CF \| A Fiction by Arlan Wetherminster
CF \| Release 1 / Serial number 221124 / Inform 7 build 6M62 (I6/v6.33 lib
CF \| 6/12N)
CF \|
CF \| Pond of Leaves
CF \| The ground is very sunken here. The surrounding trees have dumped a
CF \| pond of leaves. At the northwest end of the leaf pond, you can see a
CF \| small cement structure with a rusty grating. A light trail heads east
CF \| through the trees.
CF \|
CF \| Lounging just behind the rusty grating, on the edge of darkness, is
CF \| Peanut the cat.
