##£¤&%†«~¨ everything is completely  calm  and dead ¨~«†%&¤£##
##£¤&%†«~¨ silent.  it's  dark,  and  warm,  and  i ¨~«†%&¤£##

##£¤&%†«~¨ 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.            ¨~«†%&¤£##

##£¤&%†«~¨    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 ¨~«†%%%%&£

##£¤&%†«~¨  outside does nothing... drinking water  ¨~«†%&¤£##
##£¤&%†«~¨ does  noting... but  time does  -  after ¨~«†%&¤£##
##£¤&%†«~¨     thirty seconds i'm normal again,     ¨~«†%&¤£##
##£¤&%†«~¨ doubting anything  of this  happened  in ¨~«†%&¤£##
