&.&.&.&.&& .&&.&.&.&.
&.&.&.&..& 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! .&&.&.&.&.
&.&.&.&..& ..&.&.&.&.
&.&.&.&.&& .&&.&.&.&.
&.&.&.&..& ..&.&.&.&.
