,,,,,,,,,, IN THIS DREAM I WAS A GIRL OF MAYBE ,,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,, SIXTEEN YEARS, TOGETHER WITH MY DAD IN ,,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,, A HUGE BATH HOUSE / SPA / HOTEL / ,,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,, SHOPPING CENTRE. DAD WAS CONSTATLY ,,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,, POINTING OUT HOT GIRLS TO ME. "YOU SEE ,,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,- THAT BLACK-HAIRED THING DISSAPEARING -,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,-» BEHIND THE CLOTHES RACK? OOF!" HE'D »-,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,-»; SAY. HE WAS ALWAYS VERY CREEPY ABOUT ;»-,,,,,,,
,,,,,,-»;* THIS, GOING FOR GIRLS MY AGE. *;»-,,,,,,
,,,,,-»;** **;»-,,,,,
,,,,-»;**& THIS NIGHT HE HAD JUST TRIED TO WOO A &**;»-,,,,
,,,-»;**&# GIRL HE CALLED A "MOUSE" BY BUYING HER #&**;»-,,,
,,-»;**&## SHOES, BUT SHE HAD ACCEPTED THEM ONLY ##&**;»-,,
,-»;**&### TO RUN AWAY IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARD. DAD ###&**;»-,
,,-»;**&## WAS A BIT BUMMED BUT DROPPED IT ##&**;»-,,
,,,-»;**&# QUICKLY. I SAID GOODNIGHT TO HIM AND #&**;»-,,,
,,,,-»;**& WENT LOOKING FOR THE MOUSE. &**;»-,,,,
,,,,,-»;** **;»-,,,,,
,,,,,,-»;* THE BUILDING WAS ENORMOUS AND MAZELIKE. *;»-,,,,,,
,,,,,,,-»; WALLS, FLOORS AND PILLARS WERE SET IN ;»-,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,-» GREEN MARBLE. THROUGHOUT THE HOUSE RAN »-,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,- A MAIN BOULEVARD, WIDE AS A STREET, -,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,, FRAMED WITH CLAY VASES DARK AS OBSIDIAN ,,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,, AND TALLER THAN A PERSON. IN EACH VASE ,,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,, WAS PLACED UPRIGHT A LEAF FROM A PALM ,,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,, TREE OR GIANT FERN. THE BOULEVARD WAS ,,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,, DIMLY LIT, WHICH ALLOWED THE POOLS THAT ,,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,- WERE GENEROUSLY SPRINKLED THROUGHOUT -,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,-» EACH FLOOR WOULD REFLECT SUGGESTIVE »-,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,-»; PATTERNS ON THE MARBLE. ;»-,,,,,,,
,,,,,,-»;* *;»-,,,,,,
,,,,,-»;** ; ; ; ; **;»-,,,,,
,,,,-»;**& &**;»-,,,,
,,,-»;**&# FOLLOWING THE BOULEVARD, TWO FLOORS UP #&**;»-,,,
,,-»;**&## I FOUND HER CRYING BEHIND TWO FERN ##&**;»-,,
,-»;**&### VASES. SHE WAS BEAUTIFUL, AND AS I ###&**;»-,
,,-»;**&## APPROACHED, SHE LOOKED UP AND SNIVELED. ##&**;»-,,
,,,-»;**&# IN THE NEAREST VASE SHE HAD STUFFED #&**;»-,,,
,,,,-»;**& BOTH THE SHOES. &**;»-,,,,
,,,,,-»;** **;»-,,,,,
,,,,,,-»;* I TOLD HER TO FOLLOW, BUT SHE DIDN'T *;»-,,,,,,
,,,,,,,-»; MOVE OR SPEAK. SO INSTEAD I SAID TO ;»-,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,-» STAY THERE, AND RAN TO GET HER A BETTER »-,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,- PAIR OF SHOES THAT SHE WOULD ACTUALLY -,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,, LIKE. WHEN I RETURNED, HAVING SPENT ,,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,, MORE THAN I COULD REALLY AFFORD, SHE ,,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,, WAS VISIBLY IMPRESSED. I TRIED TO SOUND ,,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,, COOL, SAYING SOMETHING LIKE "WHAT DO ,,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,, YOU THINK, JUST BECAUSE A GIRL HAS A ,,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,- FREAKY DAD, SHE DOESN'T HAVE TASTE?" -,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,-» BUT MOUSE GIRL JUST LAUGHED AT ME. »-,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,-»; ;»-,,,,,,,
,,,,,,-»;* SHE THEN TOOK ME BY THE HAND AND LED ME *;»-,,,,,,
,,,,,-»;** OUT A SIDE ROUTE TO A CLOSED-OFF **;»-,,,,,
,,,,-»;**& ROOFTOP WALKING GARDEN, FULL OF JUNIPER &**;»-,,,,
,,,-»;**&# AND THUJA. IT WAS A LATE EVENING, AND #&**;»-,,,
,,-»;**&## THE STARS WERE GLITTERING. BEING ##&**;»-,,
,-»;**&### CLOSED, THE GARDEN HAD ITS LIGHT TURNED ###&**;»-,
,,-»;**&## OFF, BUT WE COULD STILL SEE OUR WAY ##&**;»-,,
,,,-»;**&# AROUND BY THE LIGHT SHINING DOWN FROM #&**;»-,,,
,,,,-»;**& THE WINDOWS OF THE HIGHER FLOORS. &**;»-,,,,
,,,,,-»;** **;»-,,,,,
,,,,,,-»;* SHE LAY DOWN IN A PATCH OF GRASS. I SAT *;»-,,,,,,
,,,,,,,-»; DOWN ON MY KNEES, AND THEN CRAWLED ;»-,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,-» CLOSER. SHE LAUGHED AT ME AGAIN, AND »-,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,- SAID - -,,,,,,,,,
