        <p>The room is neither cold, nor warm, but cool. Light filters in through the stained glass pains on the eastern side. The architecture of the room is in the arts and crafts style, and it is occupied by two wooden chairs with large cushions, a desk, a dresser, and a bed all following in the arts and crafts style, a mixture of soft and hard, wood and cushions. There are three paintings on the walls. One by M.C. Escher, and two in the cubist style.</p>

    <addl>The furnishings are homespun, while the art is abstract modern. This could signify a rather earthy childhood, but with pretensions of intellectualism.</addl>

        <p>The forest is thick with trees and shrubs, but light filters through the branches. They are mostly hardwoods: oak and maple, with the occasional birch and pine mixed in.</p>

        <p>The path is winding, but very easy to follow. It is easily wide enough for two people to walk abreast, perhaps three. It can be seen that it is a well worn path, commonly used by many, and worn down to only dirt; no shrubs or weeds grow directly on it. All along the path you can reach out and touch a tree trunk without stepping off the path.</p>

        <p>It is a small stream, and winds around the contours of the land much as the path wound through the forest. The water is clean and clear, but the bottom is sandy and muddy, giving it a light brown color.</p>

        <p>It is fairly large. The color is golden, though it is apparent by the weight that it is not gold. It is a slightly modified skeleton key, with a few small teeth, like a sharks, protruding from the stem. It may unlock something from within the house I just left.</p>

    <addl>A golden-but-not-gold, old-fashioned key is rich with symbolism: the <em xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">faux</em> gold indicates a desire for a flashy career with little substance; the old-fashioned nature suggests a more traditional career is desired.</addl>
