¨§¨¨¨§¨§§¨ 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.               ¨¨¨¨§¨§§¨¨

§§¨¨¨¨¨¨§¨   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!              ¨¨¨§¨¨§¨¨¨
