#¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨ 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.         #¨#¨#¨¨#¨¨
#¨#¨##¨##¨                                          #¨#¨#¨##¨#

#¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨ my surroundings are  entirely calm. it's #¨#¨#¨¨#¨¨
#¨#¨##¨##¨              almost mocking.             #¨#¨#¨##¨#
#¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨                                          #¨#¨#¨¨#¨¨
#¨#¨##¨##¨ 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 #¨#¨#¨¨#¨¨
#¨#¨##¨##¨             the first place.             #¨#¨#¨##¨#
#¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨                                          #¨#¨#¨¨#¨¨
#¨#¨##¨##¨ my eyes are  still tense though, scared. #¨#¨#¨##¨#
#¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨ i    don't    know    what    to   make. #¨#¨#¨¨#¨¨
#¨#¨##¨##¨                                          #¨#¨#¨##¨#
#¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨              but i'm tired.              #¨#¨#¨¨#¨¨
#¨#¨##¨##¨                                          #¨#¨#¨##¨#

#¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨ this can happen if you  wander  too far, #¨#¨#¨¨#¨¨
#¨#¨##¨##¨ i  guess?  i  shouldn't  be so  reckless #¨#¨#¨##¨#
#¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨              when dreaming?              #¨#¨#¨¨#¨¨
#¨#¨##¨##¨ i imagine a  prick  on the nose,  that's #¨#¨#¨##¨#
#¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨ what these  are. like you do  with a cat #¨#¨#¨¨#¨¨
#¨#¨##¨##¨ who comes to  close  to your sandwich... #¨#¨#¨##¨#
