¨¨§§¨§§§¨¨  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.              §§§§§¨§¨¨§
¨¨¨¨¨¨§¨§§                                          §¨¨¨¨§§§¨§
§¨¨¨¨¨§§§¨       the ground was sticky, red.        ¨§¨¨¨§¨¨§§

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