###&@$*-~¨ ¨~-*$@&###
###&@$*-~¨ i wake suddenly, and for a second ¨~-*$@&###
#&$-~¨¨¨¨¨ everything is completely calm and dead ¨¨¨¨¨~-$&#
##@*~¨¨¨¨¨ 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 ¨~-***@@@&
#&@$-~¨¨¨¨ particular microtonality. ¨¨¨¨~-$@&#
###&@$*-~¨ ¨~-*$@&###
####@$*-~¨ ~~ ¨~-*$@####
#&&@*-¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨-*@&&#
#&&@@$*-~¨ my surroundings are entirely calm. it's ¨~-*$@@&&#
&$-¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ almost mocking. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨-$&
###&@$*-~¨ ¨~-*$@&###
#&&$$*--~¨ i feel helpless, but i must try to ¨~--*$$&&#
#&&@*-¨¨¨¨ 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 ¨¨¨¨¨~*@@#
###&@$*-~¨ thirty seconds i'm normal again, ¨~-*$@&###
###&@$*-~¨ doubting anything of this happened in ¨~-*$@&###
&&&&@$*-~¨ the first place. ¨~-*$@&&&&
##&&@$*-~¨ ¨~-*$@&&##
#&@*--~¨¨¨ my eyes are still tense though, scared. ¨¨¨~--*@&#
#&&@**~¨¨¨ i don't know what to make. ¨¨¨~**@&&#
#@$**-~~¨¨ ¨¨~~-**$@#
###&@$*-~¨ but i'm tired. ¨~-*$@&###

#&@@$-¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨-$@@&#
###&@$*-~¨ this can happen if you wander too far, ¨~-*$@&###
###&@$*-~¨ i guess? i shouldn't be so reckless ¨~-*$@&###
###&@$*-~¨ when dreaming? ¨~-*$@&###
###&@$*-~¨ i imagine a prick on the nose, that's ¨~-*$@&###
&$-¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ what these are. like you do with a cat ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨-$&
#@@$*~¨¨¨¨ who comes to close to your sandwich... ¨¨¨¨~*$@@#
