=~¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ 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 ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨~=†
§†=~¨¨¨¨¨¨ so much. ¨¨¨¨¨¨~=†§

##@¤§§†=~¨ ¨~=†§§¤@##
#@¤§§†=~¨¨ i searched for her, but nobody had any ¨¨~=†§§¤@#
@¤§§†=~¨¨¨ memories of her. not so much of me ¨¨¨~=†§§¤@
¤§§†=~¨¨¨¨ 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 ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
~¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ moment. i remembered her laugh and knew ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨~
=~¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ we had done crimes together, that it ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨~=
†=~¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ had been real... ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨~=†

##@¤§§†=~¨ 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. ¨¨¨¨¨¨~=†§
†=~¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨~=†
=~¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ and then i got up, and looked around. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨~=
~¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ it was dark, where it previously had ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨~
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ been a bright day. around me where ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
~¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ dozens of crashed cars, all my car, ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨~
=~¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ some on fire. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨~=
†=~¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨~=†
§†=~¨¨¨¨¨¨ the ground was sticky, red. ¨¨¨¨¨¨~=†§
§§†=~¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨~=†§§
¤§§†=~¨¨¨¨ and then i realized that i knew this ¨¨¨¨~=†§§¤
@¤§§†=~¨¨¨ darkness. i knew the way the sky ¨¨¨~=†§§¤@
#@¤§§†=~¨¨ touched the ground. this was her doing! ¨¨~=†§§¤@#
