..##...### 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 - .##.##.#.#
#....##..# you - were - chosen - a - very - long - ##.##.####
.#...#.#.# time - ago - ..##.##...
.##..##### ..#.##.#..
.#.#.#.... 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 ##..####.#
