¨¨¨¨¨&&&¨¨ when i was in eight grade i decided i ¨&¨¨¨¨&¨&&
&¨¨¨¨&¨&&¨ was dead. my spirit had left my body, ¨¨&¨¨¨¨¨&&
&&¨¨¨¨¨&&& never to return. ¨¨¨&¨¨¨¨&¨
&&&¨¨¨¨&¨& ¨¨¨¨&¨¨¨¨¨
&¨&&¨¨¨¨¨& i remember sitting in my parents car on &¨¨¨¨&¨¨¨¨
¨¨&&&¨¨¨¨& a cloudy, watery day, getting a ride ¨&¨¨¨¨&¨¨¨
¨¨&¨&&¨¨¨¨ somewhere. it felt like i had solved ¨¨&¨¨¨¨&¨¨
¨¨¨¨&&&¨¨¨ some great puzzle. i've solved no ¨¨¨&¨¨¨¨&¨
¨¨¨¨&¨&&¨¨ puzzles since then. ¨¨¨¨&¨¨¨¨&
&¨¨¨¨¨&&&¨ ¨¨¨¨¨&¨¨¨¨
¨&¨¨¨¨&¨&& instead, i've been mindlessly piloting &¨¨¨¨¨&¨¨¨
¨¨&¨¨¨¨¨&& this body around. i still give it life, &&¨¨¨¨¨&¨¨
¨¨¨&¨¨¨¨&¨ somehow. like a golem, and i try not to &&&¨¨¨¨¨&¨
¨¨¨¨&¨¨¨¨¨ care too much, but i do. it's a &¨&&¨¨¨¨¨&
&¨¨¨¨&¨¨¨¨ contaminated golem, this one. purity ¨¨&&&¨¨¨¨¨
¨&¨¨¨¨&¨¨¨ clouded by my echo. afterglow of my ¨¨&¨&&¨¨¨¨
¨¨&¨¨¨¨&¨¨ spirit. &¨¨¨&&&¨¨¨
