Garden (#223)(an instance of Generic Post-Apocalypse Room made by Calkins)     Brambles coil the trellis. Dried tendrils curl on splintered lathe. The ground is gouged up in black confusion here and there. A statue of Perseus, arms and genitals broken off, stands in a ten-foot dish of stone overflowing with rain water. A path leads to the east through a hedge. To the north is a vine-covered gate. [Citation: Dhalgren, p 285.] EXITS:       You see a path leading through the hedge. [ east ] Drive Way.       [ north ] Terrace. You walk through the gate, up a path, and up concrete steps onto the terrace. |
