.&&&&&&&&& @ @ . in my room, @ @ . &&..&&....
..&&&&&&&& @ arms flopped over the edge of the bed. .......&&&
...&&&&&&& @ @ . something poking my left hand, &&&&&&..&.
&&..&&&&&& @ @ . something slimy, &&&&&.....
.....&&&&& @ @ . slithering around the fingers, &&&&..&&&.
&&&&..&&&& @ @ . up the arm. @ @ . &&&....&..
.&&....&&& is it drug-fueled apathy? @ @ . &&..&&....
....&&..&. @ @ . i don't move the arm. &......&&&
.&&....... @ @ . @ @ . @ @ . ..&&&&..&.
....&&&&&. whatever it is that's tasting me, @ @ . &..&&.....
&&&..&&&.. it moves further up, @ @ . ......&&&&
&&....&..& reaches the armpit. @ @ . .&&&&..&&&
&..&&..... i turn my head toward it. @ @ . ..&&....&&
......&&&. @ @ . looks like seagrass. &....&&..&
.&&&&..&.. @ @ . it's kinda cute. @ @ . ..&&......
..&&.....& @ @ . @ @ . @ @ . &....&&&&&
.....&&&.. @ @ . once it's up my neck and on my ..&&..&&&.
&&&&..&..& face, i bite it. @ @ . .......&..
.&&....... @ @ . the texture is like that of a &&&&&&....
....&&&&&& juicy @ @ . grape, .&&&&..&&&
.&&..&&&&& @ @ . and the squish tastes like sweet ..&&....&.
......&&&& @ @ . @ @ . cucumber. . .....&&...
&&&&&..&&& @ @ . it's very good. @ @ . and i @ @ . &&&&....&&
&&&&....&& suck more of it in. @ @ . &&&..&&..&
&&&..&&..& @ @ . chew it. @ @ . &&........
