......&&&. 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 - &....&.&&.
