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