...&&.&..& I Used To Be A Goth, In My Youth, Doing ..&.&&&...
..&.&&&.&& Crimes Mostly From Or In My Beloved And .&&&..&...
.&&&..&&.. Trusted Car, And Sometimes My Mothers &..&.&&...
&..&.&.&.& Barn. We Lived Just Outside Town, A &.&&&.&...
&.&&&&&&&. 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. ...&&....&
.&...&&&.& ..&.&...&.
&&..&..&&. My Car Was Black And Loud, Both The .&&&&..&&.
.&.&&.&.&. Engine And The Way The Parts Didn'T &...&.&.&&
&&&.&&&&&. Really Stick Together. I Took My &..&&&&&.&
..&&....&. Crimefriend For Rides, In The Dark, The &.&....&&.
.&.&...&&. Eternal Dark That Seemed To Surround &&&...&.&.
&&&&..&.&. Us. She Seemed To Cast This Veil Over ..&..&&&&.
...&.&&&&. Everything. Her Black Skirt Reached To .&&.&...&&
..&&&...&& Her Knees But Then Somehow Also Back &.&&&..&.&
.&..&..&.. Around, Enveloping All My Memories Of &&..&.&&&&
&&.&&.&&.. Our Time Together. .&.&&&...&
.&&.&&.&.. &&&..&..&.
&.&&.&&&.& There Was Blood Everywhere. Sometimes ..&.&&.&&.
&&.&&..&&. The Blood Was Her Red Lipstick Or Her .&&&.&&.&&
.&&.&.&.&. Checkered Shirt. She Was On Television. &..&&.&&..
&.&&&&&&&& 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 ..&.&.&.&.
.&.....&.. And Drink There And She Would Go In The .&&&&&&&&&
&&....&&.. Television. &........&
.&...&.&.. &.......&.
&&..&&&&.& And Then The Sun Came Out, And She Went &......&&.
.&.&...&&& Away. Everything Changed... I Yearned, &.....&.&&
&&&&..&..& And The World Became Dull Around Me. &....&&&.&
...&.&&.&& &...&..&&.
..&&&.&&.& I Stopped Doing Crime, Except When &..&&.&.&.
.&..&&.&&. Necessarry. Things Somehow Seemed Like &.&.&&&&&.
&&.&.&&.&. They Were Allright, Moulded In Place, &&&&....&.
.&&&&.&&&& And I Loathed It ------ I Missed Her ...&...&&&
&...&&.... So Much. ..&&..&..&
&..&.&...& .&.&.&&.&.
&.&&&&..&& &&&&&.&&&&
&&...&.&.& -----... ...----- ....&&....
.&..&&&&&. ...&.&...&
&&.&....&& ..&&&&..&&
.&&&...&.. I Searched For Her, But Nobody Had Any .&...&.&..
&..&..&&.& Memories Of Her. Not So Much Of Me &&..&&&&..
&.&&.&.&&& Either, From The Time We Were Together. .&.&...&.&
&&.&&&&... My Mother Said I Kept To Myself In The &&&&..&&&.
.&&...&... Barn, Or In The Car. ...&.&..&&
&.&..&&... ..&&&&.&.&
&&&.&.&... Sometimes I Could Still See Her .&...&&&&.
..&&&&&..& Flashing By On The Tv In The Barn. &&..&...&&
.&....&.&. Everything Was Black Then, For A .&.&&..&.&
&&...&&&&& Moment. I Remembered Her Laugh And Knew &&&.&.&&&&
.&..&....& We Had Done Crimes Together, That It ..&&&&....
&&.&&...&& Had Been Real... .&...&....

....&..&&& I Died By Getting Shot In The Head ...&&.&...
...&&.&..& While Ramming The Fence To A Military ..&.&&&...
..&.&&&.&& Facility. By This Time They Had Been .&&&..&...
.&&&..&&.. Chasing Me For Days. I Lost Control &..&.&&...
&..&.&.&.& Over The Car, Crashed It Into A Rock &.&&&.&...
&.&&&&&&&. Wall And Flew Out The Windshield. &&..&&&..&
&&......&. .&.&..&.&.
.&.....&&. And Then I Got Up, And Looked Around. &&&&.&&&&&
&&....&.&& It Was Dark, Where It Previously Had ...&&....&
.&...&&&.& Been A Bright Day. Around Me Where ..&.&...&.
&&..&..&&. Dozens Of Crashed Cars, All My Car, .&&&&..&&.
.&.&&.&.&. Some On Fire. &...&.&.&&
&&&.&&&&&. &..&&&&&.&
..&&....&. The Ground Was Sticky, Red. &.&....&&.
.&.&...&&. &&&...&.&.
&&&&..&.&. And Then I Realized That I Knew This ..&..&&&&.
...&.&&&&. Darkness. I Knew The Way The Sky .&&.&...&&
..&&&...&& Touched The Ground. This Was Her Doing! &.&&&..&.&
.&..&..&.. She Was Here! &&..&.&&&&
