#,##,##,#,   GROVE AT THE END OF A DIRT ROAD, AND   ,#,#,,#,#,
#,,#,,#,#,  THE BARN WAS PLACED SO YOU COULD JUST   ,#,#,##,#,

#,,#,,#,#,   ETERNAL DARK THAT SEEMED TO SURROUND   ,#,#,##,#,

#,,#,,#,#,      WE DID CRIME, AND WE MADE WEIRD     ,#,#,##,#,
#,##,##,#,  STRUCTURES IN THE BARN, TALL PILLARS OF ,#,#,,#,#,
#,,#,,#,#,  DARK WOOD, LADDERS AND PLATEAUS, FIRES  ,#,#,##,#,

#,##,##,#,   AND THE WORLD BECAME DULL AROUND ME.   ,#,#,,#,#,

#,,#,,#,#,   FACILITY. BY THIS TIME THEY HAD BEEN   ,#,#,##,#,
#,##,##,#,    CHASING ME FOR DAYS. I LOST CONTROL   ,#,#,,#,#,
#,,#,,#,#,   OVER THE CAR, CRASHED IT INTO A ROCK   ,#,#,##,#,

#,,#,,#,#,   IT WAS DARK, WHERE IT PREVIOUSLY HAD   ,#,#,##,#,
