&¨&¨&¨&¨¨& 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. &¨&¨&&¨&¨&
