Flatten directory structure
All content files (*.txt, *.html, *.river) are now in /. I did this to simplify the compilation step, and to make linking easier. I'm still thinking about whether I should move the contents of js/, img/, and lua/ into /, or into an 'assets' folder of some sort. We'll see.

18 | You never can tell just when Charlie Sheen will enter your life. | ||
19 | For me, it was last Thursday. | ||
20 | I was reading some translation of a Japanese translation of "The Raven" in which the Poe and the raven become friends. | ||
21 | At one point the raven gets very sick and Poe feeds him at his bedside and nurses him back to health. | ||
22 | The story was very heartwarming and sad at the same time and my tears were welling up when suddenly I heard a knock on my door. | ||
23 | |||
24 | I shuffled over, sniffling but managing to keep my cheeks dry to open it. | ||
25 | Of course Charlie was beaming on the other side, with a bag of flowers and a grin like a [dog][]'s. | ||
26 | He bounded in the room without saying hello and threw the flowers in the sink, opened the refrigerator and started poking around. | ||
27 | I said "It's nice to see you too" and went to my room to get a camera, as well as a notebook for him to sign. | ||
28 | |||
29 | When I came back he was on the floor, hunched and groaning. | ||
30 | I looked on the table to see a month-old half-gallon of milk---now cottage cheese---half-empty and dripping. | ||
31 | The remnants were on his mouth, and at once I saw my chance to become Poe in this [translation of a translation][] of a translation. | ||
32 | I knelt next to Charlie, cradled his head in my lap. | ||
33 | He looked up at me with a stare full of terror. | ||
34 | I returned it levelly, making cooing noises at him until he calmed down. | ||
35 | |||
36 | When he was calm he excused himself to be sick on my toilet. | ||
37 | He wouldn't let me follow but said he would sign whatever I liked when he got back. | ||
38 | After half an hour passed and all I'd had for company was the ticking of the [clock][], I went to the bathroom door. | ||
39 | I knocked carefully---once, then twice---to no beaming face, no flowers. | ||
40 | I opened the door. | ||
41 | There was shit on the floor and the window was open. | ||
42 | There was a breeze blowing. | ||
