¨¨¨¨¨¨^«†$ 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. «^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨

¨¨¨^«†$$§¶ my mother said i kept to myself in the ¶§$$†«^¨¨¨

¨¨¨¨¨^«†$$ $$†«^¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨^«†$ 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... ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨

¨¨¨¨^«†$$§ while ramming the fence to a military §$$†«^¨¨¨¨

¨¨^«†$$§¶@ chasing me for days. i lost control @¶§$$†«^¨¨
¨^«†$$§¶@# over the car, crashed it into a rock #@¶§$$†«^¨

¨¨¨^«†$$§¶ ¶§$$†«^¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨^«†$$§ and then i got up, and looked around. §$$†«^¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨^«†$$ it was dark, where it previously had $$†«^¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨^«†$ 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! «^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
