¨¨¨§§¨§¨§¨ 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 - ¨¨¨§¨§§§§§
