¨¨#¨¨¨¨¨#¨ everything is completely  calm and  dead ¨##¨¨#¨#¨#
#¨##¨¨¨¨## silent.  it's  dark,  and  warm,  and  i ¨#¨#¨#####

#¨¨##¨¨¨## there are circles and  crosses inscribed ¨#########

¨######¨## 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.           #¨#¨¨¨¨#¨¨

#######¨#¨      because there's something there     ¨#¨¨##¨###
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨###    already, droning everything out, a    ###¨#¨##¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨#¨¨ rapid  melody, almost  caustic  in  it's #¨¨####¨#¨

¨####¨##¨¨ 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 #######¨#¨
