#§§$*=~¨¨¨ i used to be a goth, in my youth, doing ¨¨¨~=*$§§#
§§$*=~¨¨¨¨ crimes mostly from or in my beloved and ¨¨¨¨~=*$§§
§$*=~¨¨¨¨¨ trusted car, and sometimes my mothers ¨¨¨¨¨~=*$§
$*=~¨¨¨¨¨¨ barn. we lived just outside town, a ¨¨¨¨¨¨~=*$
*=~¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ 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 ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨~=*
$*=~¨¨¨¨¨¨ darkness. i knew the way the sky ¨¨¨¨¨¨~=*$
§$*=~¨¨¨¨¨ touched the ground. this was her doing! ¨¨¨¨¨~=*$§
§§$*=~¨¨¨¨ she was here! ¨¨¨¨~=*$§§
