#@##%%†«,, 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 ,,,,,,†%%#

#@##%%†«,, 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 ,,,,,«%%##

##@##%%«,, 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. ,,,,,«%%##
##%%†«««,, ,,«««†%%##
