.#.#..#.#. i  wake  suddenly,   and  for  a  second .#.#.#.#.#
.#.#.##.#. everything is  completely  calm and dead .#.#.#.#.#
.#.#..#.#. silent.  it's  dark,  and  warm,  and  i .#.#.#.#.#
.#.#.##.#. slowly  start  to   piece   together  my .#.#.#.#.#
.#.#..#.#.        consciousness and my body.        .#.#.#.#.#
.#.#.##.#.                                          .#.#.#.#.#
.#.#..#.#. then  the  fear  hits  me   and  i  feel .#.#.#.#.#
.#.#.##.#.    acutely sick. something is «wrong«.   .#.#.#.#.#

.#.#.##.#. there are circles and  crosses inscribed .#.#.#.#.#
.#.#..#.#. all over my  vision,  pressing in, being .#.#.#.#.#
.#.#.##.#. almost  hostile. i can feel them squirm, .#.#.#.#.#
.#.#..#.#.    their internal logic changing and     .#.#.#.#.#
.#.#.##.#. grinding trenches  in my mind. it's like .#.#.#.#.#
.#.#..#.#. language,  sentences i can't  hide from, .#.#.#.#.#
.#.#.##.#. forcefully transcribed  in  my mind, and .#.#.#.#.#
.#.#..#.#.            doing damage there.           .#.#.#.#.#
.#.#.##.#.                                          .#.#.#.#.#
.#.#..#.#. then  i realize  i  can't  hear anything .#.#.#.#.#
.#.#.##.#.     because there's something there      .#.#.#.#.#
.#.#..#.#.    already, droning everything out, a    .#.#.#.#.#
.#.#.##.#. rapid  melody, almost  caustic  in  it's .#.#.#.#.#
.#.#..#.#.         particular microtonality.        .#.#.#.#.#

.#.#..#.#.                                          .#.#.#.#.#
.#.#.##.#. i feel  helpless,  but  i  must  try  to .#.#.#.#.#
.#.#..#.#. escape. to crawl on the  floor searching .#.#.#.#.#
.#.#.##.#. relief, such  is my  nature. turning the .#.#.#.#.#
.#.#..#.#.    lights on does nothing... getting     .#.#.#.#.#
.#.#.##.#.  outside does nothing... drinking water  .#.#.#.#.#
.#.#..#.#. does noting...  but  time does  -  after .#.#.#.#.#
.#.#.##.#.     thirty seconds i'm normal again,     .#.#.#.#.#
.#.#..#.#. doubting  anything  of this happened  in .#.#.#.#.#
