~,¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ the so called "third migraine". it's ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨,~
,¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ like a regular migraine but it does not ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨,
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ hurt there's no pain, the cosmos is ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ there and it's draining the evil ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ straight out of the wound. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ it's massaging your temples, piercing ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ you, entering your blood, cracking the ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ skull open. a paw grips your brain, ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
,¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ plays with it, pulls it out into the ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨,
~,¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ cosmos. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨,~

~,¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ my lunch break is over and i need to ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨,~
,¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ get back to the shop. lynne is there ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨,
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ alone and hasn't eaten yet. i take the ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ back route up from the beach to avoid ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ the crowd. sing a little to myself. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨

¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ suddenly, an acid flashback: i step ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ down in my mind (like an open mind / ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
,¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ fractal stinger / bismuth staircase) ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨,
~,¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ and wade in shadows... surrounded by ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨,~

#¶@£$:~,¨¨ we're closing for the evening. the shop ¨¨,~:$£@¶#
##¶@£$:~,¨ is in the bottom floor of a narrow ¨,~:$£@¶##
#¶@£$:~,¨¨ mudbrick building, painted teal. we ¨¨,~:$£@¶#
¶@£$:~,¨¨¨ live on the second floor, together with ¨¨¨,~:$£@¶
@£$:~,¨¨¨¨ the owner. as i close the metal ¨¨¨¨,~:$£@

~,¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨,~
,¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ wormy street wolves outside, chasing ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨,
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ entrances in the dark alleyways, ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ wanting in, getting desperate, lapsing ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ to search higher, on roofs, climbing on ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ balconies. and there's bound to be some ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ reckless tourist who didn't heed the ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ warnings, never closed their windows... ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
,¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ or, in some cases, the houseowner had ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨,
~,¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ the window bolts weakened, and when ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨,~
