£¨¨¨¨¨¨£¨¨  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.        £¨¨¨¨££¨¨¨
