,,#,,##,## ,##,#,#,,#
,##,#,##,# 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 - ##,,###,##
