###&£%\«^, 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. ,,,,^«\%£&
£%\«^,,,,, ,,,,,^«\%£

&£%\«^,,,, AROUND, ENVELOPING ALL MY MEMORIES OF ,,,,^«\%£&

##&£%\«^,, ,,^«\%£&##
###&£%\«^, THERE WAS BLOOD EVERYWHERE. SOMETIMES ,^«\%£&###

&£%\«^,,,, 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 ,,,,,,,^«\

^,,,,,,,,, TELEVISION. ,,,,,,,,,^
«^,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,^«
\«^,,,,,,, AND THEN THE SUN CAME OUT, AND SHE WENT ,,,,,,,^«\
%\«^,,,,,, AWAY. EVERYTHING CHANGED... I YEARNED, ,,,,,,^«\%
£%\«^,,,,, AND THE WORLD BECAME DULL AROUND ME. ,,,,,^«\%£
&£%\«^,,,, ,,,,^«\%£&
