§§§§§¨§§§§  we decided to smoke the drug in a barn  ¨¨¨¨§§¨¨§§
¨¨¨¨§§¨¨¨¨  that holds great nostalgia for us all.  ¨¨¨§¨§¨§¨¨
¨¨¨§¨§¨¨¨¨    we went inside and to the highest     ¨¨§§§§§§¨¨
¨¨§§§§¨¨¨§   floor, where we sat down in the hay.   ¨§¨¨¨¨¨§¨¨

§§§§§¨¨¨§§  here our friend started to laugh their  ¨§¨§¨¨¨§§§

§¨¨§§§§¨§§      our faces had been shaped like      §§¨§¨¨§¨¨¨
§¨§¨¨¨§§¨§  pentagrams in the darkness of the barn, ¨§§§¨§§¨¨§
§§§¨¨§¨§§§  we were long worms, with hairy tubular  §¨¨§§¨§¨§¨
¨¨§¨§§§¨¨¨     bodies dancing from side to side,    §¨§¨§§§§§§
¨§§§¨¨§¨¨§         begging for cigarettes...        §§§§¨¨¨¨¨§

¨¨¨¨§¨§§§¨   our lingering came to an end when we   ¨¨§¨¨¨§§§§
¨¨¨§§§¨¨§¨  headed into the city core. four hours   ¨§§¨¨§¨¨¨§
¨¨§¨¨§¨§§¨  after our first toke we found ourselves §¨§¨§§¨¨§§
¨§§¨§§§¨§¨    in a dark slope beneath a gigantic    §§§§¨§¨§¨§
§¨§§¨¨§§§§               water tower.               ¨¨¨§§§§§§§

¨§§§§§¨¨§¨ the time was in the post-twelves of the  ¨§§¨¨¨¨¨¨§
§¨¨¨¨§¨§§§  night when we rolled a joint with pure  §¨§¨¨¨¨¨§§
§¨¨¨§§§¨¨¨ cannabinoid-leaf, no tobacco, and i was  §§§¨¨¨¨§¨¨
§¨¨§¨¨§¨¨¨         thrown into a nightmare.         ¨¨§¨¨¨§§¨§
§¨§§¨§§¨¨§                                          ¨§§¨¨§¨§§¨
§§¨§§¨§¨§§  as i watched, the city became a wall,   §¨§¨§§§¨§§
¨§§¨§§§§¨¨  and i was hanging above the while world §§§§¨¨§§¨¨
§¨§§¨¨¨§¨§  in a strange and underworldly forest,   ¨¨¨§¨§¨§¨¨
§§¨§¨¨§§§§ pushed upwards against the ground below. ¨¨§§§§§§¨§

§¨¨§§§¨¨§¨     i was then struck with the most      §§¨¨¨¨§¨§¨
§¨§¨¨§¨§§¨  powerful fear. a force compelled me to  ¨§¨¨¨§§§§§
§§§¨§§§¨§¨  subvocalize, but the words were not my  §§¨¨§¨¨¨¨¨

§¨¨¨¨¨§§§§    i could not move, and my voice was    ¨¨§§§§¨§§§
§¨¨¨¨§¨¨¨¨   small when i asked my friends why we   ¨§¨¨¨§§¨¨¨
§¨¨¨§§¨¨¨¨   had done this, how such events could   §§¨¨§¨§¨¨§
§¨¨§¨§¨¨¨¨      take place. but my friends were     ¨§¨§§§§¨§¨

§§¨§¨§§§§§  city from above, from above the clouds, §¨§§¨§¨¨§§
¨§§§§¨¨¨¨¨   a space station... and the tower, a    §§¨§§§¨§¨¨
§¨¨¨§¨¨¨¨§  monolith, unearthly white, antenna to   ¨§§¨¨§§§¨¨
§¨¨§§¨¨¨§§ speak to me... the most beautiful view.  §¨§¨§¨¨§¨§
§¨§¨§¨¨§¨§  i saw myself down there, body shaking,  §§§§§¨§§§¨
§§§§§¨§§§§           speaking gibberish.            ¨¨¨¨§§¨¨§§

¨¨¨§§¨§§§¨   to terms with my imminent death. the   ¨¨¨§¨§§¨¨¨
