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