#,,##,,#,,  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.              ###,,#####

,,,#,#,,,,                                          #,,,#,,##,
