##.#.#.##.  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.   #.#.#.#.#.
##.#.#.##.                                          #.#.#.#.#.
.#.#.#..#.    after a while began the collective    #.#.#.#.#.
##.#.#.##.   process of rolling another joint, but  #.#.#.#.#.
.#.#.#..#.  here our friend started to laugh their  #.#.#.#.#.
##.#.#.##.  most fucked up laugh, and wouldn't stop #.#.#.#.#.
.#.#.#..#.           for several minutes.           #.#.#.#.#.
##.#.#.##.                                          #.#.#.#.#.
.#.#.#..#.  when they came to they said this to me: #.#.#.#.#.
##.#.#.##.      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  #.#.#.#.#.
.#.#.#..#.                   own:                   #.#.#.#.#.
##.#.#.##.                                          #.#.#.#.#.
.#.#.#..#. « it « shines « through « earth « and «  #.#.#.#.#.
##.#.#.##.    flesh « alike « and « the « light «   #.#.#.#.#.
.#.#.#..#.  will « find « you « the « light « will  #.#.#.#.#.
##.#.#.##.  « devour « you « you « were « chosen «  #.#.#.#.#.
.#.#.#..#.  you « were « chosen « a « very « long « #.#.#.#.#.
##.#.#.##.               time « ago «               #.#.#.#.#.
.#.#.#..#.                                          #.#.#.#.#.
##.#.#.##.    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      #.#.#.#.#.
##.#.#.##.       completely still and silent.       #.#.#.#.#.
.#.#.#..#.                                          #.#.#.#.#.
##.#.#.##.  and then, astral projection. i saw the  #.#.#.#.#.
.#.#.#..#. 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.           #.#.#.#.#.
.#.#.#..#.                                          #.#.#.#.#.

##.#.#.##. here's a whole block of time eradicated  #.#.#.#.#.
.#.#.#..#.    from my mind, no doubt eaten by the   #.#.#.#.#.
##.#.#.##.  disease, but when i came to i had come  #.#.#.#.#.
.#.#.#..#.   to terms with my imminent death. the   #.#.#.#.#.
##.#.#.##.   city-entity wanted me gone, by way of  #.#.#.#.#.
.#.#.#..#.  psychic erosion and cold temperatures.  #.#.#.#.#.
##.#.#.##.  it could've been below zero. we got up  #.#.#.#.#.
.#.#.#..#.   and wandered the streets to keep warm  #.#.#.#.#.
##.#.#.##.       until the sun finally rose.        #.#.#.#.#.
