@...@@@..@ 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. .......@..
.@...@.@@. ........@.
..@....@@@ my car was black and loud, both the .........@
@..@...@.@ engine and the way the parts didn't ..........
.@..@....@ 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 ...@@@....
.....@.... so much. ...@.@@...
......@... @....@@@..

@@........ @...@....@
.@@....... 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. ..........
.@..@....@ ..........
..@..@...@ the ground was sticky, red. ..........
...@..@... ..........
....@..@.. and then i realized that i knew this ..........
