:¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ 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! ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨:»
