@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨      OUR FACES HAD BEEN SHAPED LIKE      ¨@¨@¨@¨@¨¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨ PENTAGRAMS IN THE DARKNESS OF THE BARN,  ¨@¨@¨@¨@¨@
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨  WE WERE LONG WORMS, WITH HAIRY TUBULAR  ¨@¨@¨@¨@¨¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨     BODIES DANCING FROM SIDE TO SIDE,    ¨@¨@¨@¨@¨@

@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨   OUR LINGERING CAME TO AN END WHEN WE   ¨@¨@¨@¨@¨¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨  HEADED INTO THE CITY CORE. FOUR HOURS   ¨@¨@¨@¨@¨@
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨  AFTER OUR FIRST TOKE WE FOUND OURSELVES ¨@¨@¨@¨@¨¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨    IN A DARK SLOPE BENEATH A GIGANTIC    ¨@¨@¨@¨@¨@
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨               WATER TOWER.               ¨@¨@¨@¨@¨¨

@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨  THE TIME WAS IN THE POST-TWELVES OF THE ¨@¨@¨@¨@¨¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨  NIGHT WHEN WE ROLLED A JOINT WITH PURE  ¨@¨@¨@¨@¨@
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨ CANNABINOID-LEAF, NO TOBACCO, AND I WAS  ¨@¨@¨@¨@¨¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨         THROWN INTO A NIGHTMARE.         ¨@¨@¨@¨@¨@
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨                                          ¨@¨@¨@¨@¨¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨   AS I WATCHED, THE CITY BECAME A WALL,  ¨@¨@¨@¨@¨@
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨  AND I WAS HANGING ABOVE THE WHILE WORLD ¨@¨@¨@¨@¨¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨   IN A STRANGE AND UNDERWORLDLY FOREST,  ¨@¨@¨@¨@¨@
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨ PUSHED UPWARDS AGAINST THE GROUND BELOW. ¨@¨@¨@¨@¨¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨                                          ¨@¨@¨@¨@¨@
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨      I WAS THEN STRUCK WITH THE MOST     ¨@¨@¨@¨@¨¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨  POWERFUL FEAR. A FORCE COMPELLED ME TO  ¨@¨@¨@¨@¨@
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨  SUBVOCALIZE, BUT THE WORDS WERE NOT MY  ¨@¨@¨@¨@¨¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨                   OWN:                   ¨@¨@¨@¨@¨@

@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨    I COULD NOT MOVE, AND MY VOICE WAS    ¨@¨@¨@¨@¨¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨   SMALL WHEN I ASKED MY FRIENDS WHY WE   ¨@¨@¨@¨@¨@
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨   HAD DONE THIS, HOW SUCH EVENTS COULD   ¨@¨@¨@¨@¨¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨     TAKE PLACE. BUT MY FRIENDS WERE      ¨@¨@¨@¨@¨@
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨       COMPLETELY STILL AND SILENT.       ¨@¨@¨@¨@¨¨

@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨  AND THEN, ASTRAL PROJECTION. I SAW THE  ¨@¨@¨@¨@¨¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨  CITY FROM ABOVE, FROM ABOVE THE CLOUDS, ¨@¨@¨@¨@¨@
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨    A SPACE STATION... AND THE TOWER, A   ¨@¨@¨@¨@¨¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨  MONOLITH, UNEARTHLY WHITE, ANTENNA TO   ¨@¨@¨@¨@¨@
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨  SPEAK TO ME... THE MOST BEAUTIFUL VIEW. ¨@¨@¨@¨@¨¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨  I SAW MYSELF DOWN THERE, BODY SHAKING,  ¨@¨@¨@¨@¨@

@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨   TO TERMS WITH MY IMMINENT DEATH. THE   ¨@¨@¨@¨@¨@
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨  CITY-ENTITY WANTED ME GONE, BY WAY OF   ¨@¨@¨@¨@¨¨
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨  PSYCHIC EROSION AND COLD TEMPERATURES.  ¨@¨@¨@¨@¨@
@¨@¨@¨@¨@¨  IT COULD'VE BEEN BELOW ZERO. WE GOT UP  ¨@¨@¨@¨@¨¨
