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