#.#.#..#.#  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:                   .#.#.#.#..
#.#.#..#.#                                          ##.#.#.#.#
#.#.#.##.# - it - shines - through - earth - and -  .#.#.#.#..
#.#.#..#.#    flesh - alike - and - the - light -   ##.#.#.#.#
#.#.#.##.#  will - find - you - the - light - will  .#.#.#.#..
#.#.#..#.#  - devour - you - you - were - chosen -  ##.#.#.#.#

#.#.#.##.#                                          .#.#.#.#..
#.#.#..#.#    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.       ##.#.#.#.#
