¨###¨¨¨#¨¨ i  wake  suddenly,  and   for  a  second ###¨¨¨##¨¨
¨#¨¨#¨¨##¨ everything is completely  calm  and dead ¨¨¨#¨¨#¨#¨
¨##¨##¨#¨# silent.  it's  dark,  and  warm,  and  i ¨¨¨##¨####
##¨##¨#### slowly  start  to  piece   together   my #¨¨#¨##¨¨¨
#¨##¨##¨¨¨        consciousness and my body.        ¨#¨###¨#¨¨

#¨¨¨¨¨##¨¨ there are circles and crosses  inscribed ¨¨¨###¨##¨
##¨¨¨¨#¨#¨ all over  my vision,  pressing in, being ¨¨¨#¨¨##¨#
¨¨#¨¨¨#### almost  hostile. i can feel them squirm, ¨¨¨##¨#¨##
#¨##¨¨#¨¨¨     their internal logic changing and    #¨¨#¨####¨
###¨#¨##¨¨ grinding trenches in  my mind. it's like ¨#¨###¨¨¨#
¨¨¨####¨#¨ language, sentences i can't  hide  from, ¨###¨¨#¨¨#
#¨¨#¨¨¨### forcefully  transcribed in my mind,  and ¨#¨¨#¨##¨#
¨#¨##¨¨#¨¨            doing damage there.           ¨##¨###¨##

¨#¨¨#¨¨¨##      because there's something there     ¨¨#¨######
###¨##¨¨#¨    already, droning everything out, a    #¨###¨¨¨¨¨
#¨¨##¨#¨## rapid  melody,  almost  caustic  in it's ###¨¨#¨¨¨¨

¨¨¨¨#¨#¨¨# i  feel  helpless,  but  i  must try  to ¨##¨#¨¨###
#¨¨¨####¨# escape. to  crawl on the floor searching ¨#¨###¨#¨¨
##¨¨#¨¨¨## relief,  such is my  nature. turning the ¨###¨¨###¨

¨¨#¨¨#¨¨¨#     thirty seconds i'm normal again,     ###¨¨#¨¨#¨
¨¨##¨##¨¨# doubting  anything  of this  happened in ¨¨¨#¨##¨##
