£,,££,,£,£  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.                £,£,££,£££

£,££,,,,,£     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   ££,,,£,£,,

£££,£,,,££  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.              ,,,,,£,£££

,£,£,,£,,£   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!              ,,££££,,£,
