##@§¤%\~,, 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 ,,,,,~%¤@@

##@§¤%\~,, following the boulevard, two floors up ,,~\%¤§@##
##@§¤%\~,, i found her crying behind two fern ,,~\%¤§@##

§§%\~,,,,, 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 ,,~\%¤§@##

##@§¤%\~,, out a side route to a closed-off ,,~\%¤§@##
##@§¤%\~,, rooftop walking garden, full of juniper ,,~\%¤§@##
#§%\\,,,,, and thuja. it was a late evening, and ,,,,,\\%§#
