§@†;«,,,,, ,,,,,«;†@§
@†;«,,,,,, 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 - ,,,,,,,«;†
