&&&&&..&&& &&&.....&.
....&.&... i used to be a goth, in my youth, doing ..&....&&&
...&&&&..& crimes mostly from or in my beloved and .&&...&..&
..&...&.&. trusted car, and sometimes my mothers &.&..&&.&&
.&&..&&&&& barn. we lived just outside town, a &&&.&.&&.&
&.&.&....& grove at the end of a dirt road, and ..&&&&.&&&
&&&&&...&& the barn was placed so you could just .&...&&...
....&..&.& make out the surrounding fields through &&..&.&..&
...&&.&&&& the trees. .&.&&&&.&&
..&.&&.... &&&...&&.&
.&&&.&...& my car was black and loud, both the ..&..&.&&&
&..&&&..&& engine and the way the parts didn't .&&.&&&..&
&.&..&.&.. really stick together. i took my &.&&..&.&.
&&&.&&&&.. crimefriend for rides, in the dark, the &&.&.&&&&&
..&&...&.. eternal dark that seemed to surround .&&&&.....
.&.&..&&.. us. she seemed to cast this veil over &...&.....
&&&&.&.&.. everything. her black skirt reached to &..&&.....
...&&&&&.& her knees but then somehow also back &.&.&....&
..&....&&& around, enveloping all my memories of &&&&&...&&
.&&...&..& our time together. ....&..&.&
&.&..&&.&. ...&&.&&&&
&&&.&.&&&& there was blood everywhere. sometimes ..&.&&....
..&&&&...& the blood was her red lipstick or her .&&&.&...&
.&...&..&. checkered shirt. she was on television. &..&&&..&&
&&..&&.&&. we did crime, and we made weird &.&..&.&.&
.&.&.&&.&. structures in the barn, tall pillars of &&&.&&&&&.
&&&&&.&&&. dark wood, ladders and plateaus, fires ..&&....&.
....&&..&. and fairy lights. we would sleep there .&.&...&&&
...&.&.&&& and drink there and she would go in the &&&&..&..&
..&&&&&..& television. ...&.&&.&&
.&....&.&& ..&&&.&&.&
&&...&&&.. and then the sun came out, and she went .&..&&.&&&
.&..&..&.. away. everything changed... i yearned, &&.&.&&...
&&.&&.&&.. and the world became dull around me. .&&&&.&...
.&&.&&.&.& &...&&&..&
&.&&.&&&&& i stopped doing crime, except when &..&..&.&&
&&.&&..... necessarry. things somehow seemed like &.&&.&&&..
.&&.&..... they were allright, moulded in place, &&.&&..&.&
&.&&&..... and i loathed it ------ i missed her .&&.&.&&&&
&&..&..... so much. &.&&&&....
.&.&&....& &&...&...&
&&&.&...&& .&..&&..&&
..&&&..&.& ~~~~~,,. .,,~~~~~ &&.&.&.&..
.&..&.&&&& .&&&&&&&..
&&.&&&...& &......&..
.&&..&..&. i searched for her, but nobody had any &.....&&.&
&.&.&&.&&. memories of her. not so much of me &....&.&&&
&&&&.&&.&. either, from the time we were together. &...&&&...
...&&.&&&& my mother said i kept to myself in the &..&..&..&
..&.&&...& barn, or in the car. &.&&.&&.&&
.&&&.&..&& &&.&&.&&.&
&..&&&.&.& sometimes i could still see her .&&.&&.&&&
&.&..&&&&& flashing by on the tv in the barn. &.&&.&&...
&&&.&....& everything was black then, for a &&.&&.&..&
..&&&...&& moment. i remembered her laugh and knew .&&.&&&.&.
.&..&..&.& we had done crimes together, that it &.&&..&&&.
&&.&&.&&&& had been real... &&.&.&..&.
.&&.&&...& .&&&&&.&&&
&.&&.&..&& &....&&..&
&&.&&&.&.& ~~~~~,,. .,,~~~~~ &...&.&.&.
.&&..&&&&. &..&&&&&&&
&.&.&...&. &.&......&
&&&&&..&&& i died by getting shot in the head &&&.....&.
....&.&... while ramming the fence to a military ..&....&&&
...&&&&..& facility. by this time they had been .&&...&..&
..&...&.&. chasing me for days. i lost control &.&..&&.&&
.&&..&&&&& over the car, crashed it into a rock &&&.&.&&.&
&.&.&....& wall and flew out the windshield. ..&&&&.&&&
&&&&&...&& .&...&&...
....&..&.& and then i got up, and looked around. &&..&.&..&
...&&.&&&& it was dark, where it previously had .&.&&&&.&&
..&.&&.... been a bright day. around me where &&&...&&.&
.&&&.&...& dozens of crashed cars, all my car, ..&..&.&&&
&..&&&..&& some on fire. .&&.&&&..&
&.&..&.&.. &.&&..&.&.
&&&.&&&&.. the ground was sticky, red. &&.&.&&&&&
..&&...&.. .&&&&.....
.&.&..&&.. and then i realized that i knew this &...&.....
&&&&.&.&.. darkness. i knew the way the sky &..&&.....
...&&&&&.& touched the ground. this was her doing! &.&.&....&
..&....&&& she was here! &&&&&...&&
.&&...&..& ....&..&.&
