##@$=:«:¨¨ the so called "third migraine". it's ¨¨:«:=$@##
###@$=:«:¨ like a regular migraine but it does not ¨:«:=$@###
##@$=:«:¨¨ hurt there's no pain, the cosmos is ¨¨:«:=$@##
#@$=:«:¨¨¨ there and it's draining the evil ¨¨¨:«:=$@#
##@$=:«:¨¨ straight out of the wound. ¨¨:«:=$@##
###@$=:«:¨ ¨:«:=$@###
##@$=:«:¨¨ it's massaging your temples, piercing ¨¨:«:=$@##
#@$=:«:¨¨¨ you, entering your blood, cracking the ¨¨¨:«:=$@#
##@$=:«:¨¨ skull open. a paw grips your brain, ¨¨:«:=$@##
###@$=:«:¨ plays with it, pulls it out into the ¨:«:=$@###
##@$=:«:¨¨ cosmos. ¨¨:«:=$@##
#@$=:«:¨¨¨ ¨¨¨:«:=$@#
##@$=:«:¨¨ there's comets! space oddities. ¨¨:«:=$@##
###@$=:«:¨ solitary oscillations. carrier wave. ¨:«:=$@###
##@$=:«:¨¨ burned away by the suns radiation until ¨¨:«:=$@##
#@$=:«:¨¨¨ only the faintest trace remain, ¨¨¨:«:=$@#
##@$=:«:¨¨ eventually caught in the gravity well ¨¨:«:=$@##

##@$=:«:¨¨ my lunch break is over and i need to ¨¨:«:=$@##
###@$=:«:¨ get back to the shop. lynne is there ¨:«:=$@###
##@$=:«:¨¨ alone and hasn't eaten yet. i take the ¨¨:«:=$@##
#@$=:«:¨¨¨ back route up from the beach to avoid ¨¨¨:«:=$@#
##@$=:«:¨¨ the crowd. sing a little to myself. ¨¨:«:=$@##

#@$=:«:¨¨¨ suddenly, an acid flashback: i step ¨¨¨:«:=$@#
##@$=:«:¨¨ down in my mind (like an open mind / ¨¨:«:=$@##
###@$=:«:¨ fractal stinger / bismuth staircase) ¨:«:=$@###
##@$=:«:¨¨ and wade in shadows... surrounded by ¨¨:«:=$@##

##@$=:«:¨¨ we're closing for the evening. the shop ¨¨:«:=$@##
###@$=:«:¨ is in the bottom floor of a narrow ¨:«:=$@###
##@$=:«:¨¨ mudbrick building, painted teal. we ¨¨:«:=$@##
#@$=:«:¨¨¨ live on the second floor, together with ¨¨¨:«:=$@#
##@$=:«:¨¨ the owner. as i close the metal ¨¨:«:=$@##
###@$=:«:¨ curtain, behind its characteristic ¨:«:=$@###
##@$=:«:¨¨ sharp rattling i can hear the ¨¨:«:=$@##
#@$=:«:¨¨¨ curfew sirens. ¨¨¨:«:=$@#
##@$=:«:¨¨ ¨¨:«:=$@##
###@$=:«:¨ wormy street wolves outside, chasing ¨:«:=$@###
##@$=:«:¨¨ entrances in the dark alleyways, ¨¨:«:=$@##
#@$=:«:¨¨¨ wanting in, getting desperate, lapsing ¨¨¨:«:=$@#
##@$=:«:¨¨ to search higher, on roofs, climbing on ¨¨:«:=$@##
###@$=:«:¨ balconies. and there's bound to be some ¨:«:=$@###
##@$=:«:¨¨ reckless tourist who didn't heed the ¨¨:«:=$@##
#@$=:«:¨¨¨ warnings, never closed their windows... ¨¨¨:«:=$@#
##@$=:«:¨¨ ¨¨:«:=$@##
###@$=:«:¨ or, in some cases, the houseowner had ¨:«:=$@###
