§¨¨¨§¨¨¨¨¨  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   ¨§¨¨§¨§§¨¨
¨§¨¨§¨§§¨¨     darkness. i knew the way the sky     ¨¨§¨¨¨§§§¨
¨¨§¨¨¨§§§¨ touched the ground. this was her doing!  ¨¨¨§¨¨§¨§§
§¨¨§¨¨§¨§§              she was here!               ¨¨¨¨§¨¨¨§§
