&&..&.&.&. 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. .&.&.&&.&.

.&.&&.&.&. Clouded By My Echo. Afterglow Of My .&.&..&.&.
&&..&.&.&. Spirit. .&.&.&&.&.
