=^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ 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... ¨¨¨¨¨^==§&
