¨##¨¨#¨#¨# i  wake  suddenly,  and   for  a  second #¨####¨##¨
¨#¨#¨##### everything is  completely calm  and dead ###¨¨¨##¨#
######¨¨¨¨ silent.  it's  dark,  and  warm,  and  i #¨¨#¨¨#¨##
¨¨¨¨¨¨#¨¨¨ slowly   start   to  piece  together  my ##¨##¨###¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨##¨¨        consciousness and my body.        ¨¨##¨##¨¨#
#¨¨¨¨¨#¨#¨                                          #¨#¨##¨#¨#
¨#¨¨¨¨#### then  the  fear  hits  me   and  i  feel #####¨####
###¨¨¨#¨¨¨    acutely sick. something is »wrong».   ¨¨¨¨¨##¨¨¨

¨##¨##¨¨¨¨ there  are circles and crosses inscribed ¨¨#¨¨##¨¨#
##¨##¨#¨¨¨ 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.            ##¨###¨##¨

¨¨¨¨###### then  i  realize  i can't hear  anything ###¨#¨#¨##
#¨¨¨#¨¨¨¨¨      because there's something there     ¨¨¨######¨
##¨¨##¨¨¨¨    already, droning everything out, a    #¨¨#¨¨¨¨¨#
¨¨#¨#¨#¨¨¨ rapid  melody,  almost  caustic  in it's ¨#¨##¨¨¨¨#
#¨######¨¨        particular microtonality.         ####¨#¨¨¨#

¨#¨¨#¨##¨¨ i  feel  helpless,  but i  must  try  to #¨¨¨####¨¨
¨##¨###¨#¨ escape. to crawl  on the floor searching ¨#¨¨#¨¨¨#¨
¨#¨##¨¨### relief,  such is  my nature. turning the ¨##¨##¨¨##
####¨#¨#¨¨     lights on does nothing... getting    ¨#¨##¨#¨#¨
#¨¨¨#####¨  outside does nothing... drinking water  ¨###¨#####
¨#¨¨#¨¨¨¨# does  noting...  but time  does -  after ##¨¨##¨¨¨¨
¨##¨##¨¨¨#     thirty seconds i'm normal again,     ¨¨#¨#¨#¨¨¨
¨#¨##¨#¨¨# doubting  anything  of  this happened in ¨¨######¨¨
