¨§§¨¨¨¨¨§¨  we decided to smoke the drug in a barn  ¨§¨§¨¨¨§§§
§§¨§¨¨¨¨§§  that holds great nostalgia for us all.  ¨§§§§¨¨§¨¨
§¨§§§¨¨¨§¨     we went inside and to the highest    §§¨¨¨§¨§§¨
§§§¨¨§¨¨§§   floor, where we sat down in the hay.   §¨§¨¨§§§¨§
¨¨¨§¨§§¨§¨                                          ¨§§§¨§¨¨§§

¨¨§§§¨§¨§¨  here our friend started to laugh their  ¨§¨§§§¨§¨¨
¨¨§¨¨§§§§§  most fucked up laugh, and wouldn't stop §§§§¨¨§§§¨
¨¨§§¨§¨¨¨¨           for several minutes.           ¨¨¨¨§¨§¨¨§

¨§§§§¨¨§¨¨  when they came to they said this to me: ¨¨¨¨§¨¨¨§§
§§¨¨¨§¨§§¨      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,    ¨§¨§§¨¨¨¨§
§§§¨§¨¨§§§        begging for cigarettes...         §§§§¨§¨¨¨§

§§¨¨§¨§¨§¨   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  §¨¨§§§§§§¨

§¨§¨§§¨§¨¨    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,  ¨§§¨¨¨¨§¨§
¨§§¨¨¨¨¨§¨            speaking gibberish.           ¨§¨§¨¨¨§§§

¨¨§§§¨§¨§¨   from my mind, no doubt eaten by the    ¨§¨§§§¨§¨¨
¨¨§¨¨§§§§§  disease, but when i came to i had come  §§§§¨¨§§§¨
¨¨§§¨§¨¨¨¨   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  §¨¨¨§§¨¨§¨
§¨§¨¨§§§¨§  and wandered the streets to keep warm   ¨§¨¨§¨§¨§§
