§¨§§¨§¨¨§¨  we decided to smoke the drug in a barn  §¨§§¨§¨§¨¨
§¨¨§¨§¨§§¨  that holds great nostalgia for us all.  §¨¨§¨§¨§¨§
§¨§§¨§¨¨§¨    we went inside and to the highest     §¨§§¨§¨§¨¨
§¨¨§¨§¨§§¨   floor, where we sat down in the hay.   §¨¨§¨§¨§¨§
§¨§§¨§¨¨§¨                                          §¨§§¨§¨§¨¨
§¨¨§¨§¨§§¨    after a while began the collective    §¨¨§¨§¨§¨§
§¨§§¨§¨¨§¨  process of rolling another joint, but   §¨§§¨§¨§¨¨
§¨¨§¨§¨§§¨  here our friend started to laugh their  §¨¨§¨§¨§¨§
§¨§§¨§¨¨§¨ most fucked up laugh, and wouldn't stop  §¨§§¨§¨§¨¨
§¨¨§¨§¨§§¨           for several minutes.           §¨¨§¨§¨§¨§

§¨¨§¨§¨§§¨ when they came to they said this to me:  §¨¨§¨§¨§¨§
§¨§§¨§¨¨§¨      our faces had been shaped like      §¨§§¨§¨§¨¨
§¨¨§¨§¨§§¨ pentagrams in the darkness of the barn,  §¨¨§¨§¨§¨§
§¨§§¨§¨¨§¨  we were long worms, with hairy tubular  §¨§§¨§¨§¨¨
§¨¨§¨§¨§§¨     bodies dancing from side to side,    §¨¨§¨§¨§¨§
§¨§§¨§¨¨§¨         begging for cigarettes...        §¨§§¨§¨§¨¨

§¨§§¨§¨¨§¨   our lingering came to an end when we   §¨§§¨§¨§¨¨
§¨¨§¨§¨§§¨  headed into the city core. four hours   §¨¨§¨§¨§¨§
§¨§§¨§¨¨§¨  after our first toke we found ourselves §¨§§¨§¨§¨¨
§¨¨§¨§¨§§¨    in a dark slope beneath a gigantic    §¨¨§¨§¨§¨§
§¨§§¨§¨¨§¨               water tower.               §¨§§¨§¨§¨¨
§¨¨§¨§¨§§¨                                          §¨¨§¨§¨§¨§
§¨§§¨§¨¨§¨  the time was in the post-twelves of the §¨§§¨§¨§¨¨
§¨¨§¨§¨§§¨  night when we rolled a joint with pure  §¨¨§¨§¨§¨§
§¨§§¨§¨¨§¨  cannabinoid-leaf, no tobacco, and i was §¨§§¨§¨§¨¨
§¨¨§¨§¨§§¨         thrown into a nightmare.         §¨¨§¨§¨§¨§
§¨§§¨§¨¨§¨                                          §¨§§¨§¨§¨¨
§¨¨§¨§¨§§¨   as i watched, the city became a wall,  §¨¨§¨§¨§¨§
§¨§§¨§¨¨§¨ and i was hanging above the while world  §¨§§¨§¨§¨¨
§¨¨§¨§¨§§¨  in a strange and underworldly forest,   §¨¨§¨§¨§¨§
§¨§§¨§¨¨§¨ pushed upwards against the ground below. §¨§§¨§¨§¨¨
§¨¨§¨§¨§§¨                                          §¨¨§¨§¨§¨§
§¨§§¨§¨¨§¨      i was then struck with the most     §¨§§¨§¨§¨¨
§¨¨§¨§¨§§¨  powerful fear. a force compelled me to  §¨¨§¨§¨§¨§
§¨§§¨§¨¨§¨  subvocalize, but the words were not my  §¨§§¨§¨§¨¨
§¨¨§¨§¨§§¨                   own:                   §¨¨§¨§¨§¨§

§¨§§¨§¨¨§¨    i could not move, and my voice was    §¨§§¨§¨§¨¨
§¨¨§¨§¨§§¨   small when i asked my friends why we   §¨¨§¨§¨§¨§
§¨§§¨§¨¨§¨   had done this, how such events could   §¨§§¨§¨§¨¨
§¨¨§¨§¨§§¨     take place. but my friends were      §¨¨§¨§¨§¨§
§¨§§¨§¨¨§¨       completely still and silent.       §¨§§¨§¨§¨¨
§¨¨§¨§¨§§¨                                          §¨¨§¨§¨§¨§
§¨§§¨§¨¨§¨  and then, astral projection. i saw the  §¨§§¨§¨§¨¨
§¨¨§¨§¨§§¨ city from above, from above the clouds,  §¨¨§¨§¨§¨§
§¨§§¨§¨¨§¨   a space station... and the tower, a    §¨§§¨§¨§¨¨
§¨¨§¨§¨§§¨  monolith, unearthly white, antenna to   §¨¨§¨§¨§¨§
§¨§§¨§¨¨§¨ speak to me... the most beautiful view.  §¨§§¨§¨§¨¨
§¨¨§¨§¨§§¨  i saw myself down there, body shaking,  §¨¨§¨§¨§¨§
§¨§§¨§¨¨§¨            speaking gibberish.           §¨§§¨§¨§¨¨

§¨§§¨§¨¨§¨  here's a whole block of time eradicated §¨§§¨§¨§¨¨
§¨¨§¨§¨§§¨   from my mind, no doubt eaten by the    §¨¨§¨§¨§¨§
§¨§§¨§¨¨§¨  disease, but when i came to i had come  §¨§§¨§¨§¨¨
§¨¨§¨§¨§§¨   to terms with my imminent death. the   §¨¨§¨§¨§¨§
§¨§§¨§¨¨§¨   city-entity wanted me gone, by way of  §¨§§¨§¨§¨¨
§¨¨§¨§¨§§¨  psychic erosion and cold temperatures.  §¨¨§¨§¨§¨§
§¨§§¨§¨¨§¨  it could've been below zero. we got up  §¨§§¨§¨§¨¨
§¨¨§¨§¨§§¨  and wandered the streets to keep warm   §¨¨§¨§¨§¨§
§¨§§¨§¨¨§¨        until the sun finally rose.       §¨§§¨§¨§¨¨
