Astra Goes Left

The plants on either side - and hanging down from supports above her head as well - grew so luxuriantly that she often had to push her way through their leaves and shoots. She considered pruning them with the shears. But these plants must belong to someone, and she felt she did not have the right to do so.

The thick growth also meant that she could not see all that far ahead. Thus it came as a surprise when:

1. She found herself back at her starting point. She must have travelled in a semicircle without realising it, finally emerging from the passage on the right.
2. She emerged into a circular clear area, some ten feet across, in the centre of which was a strange statue.
3. She found herself getting wet. She had reached an area where an automated sprinkler system was watering the plants.
