#@¤%*†~-¨¨ 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 - ¨¨¨-~†*%¤@
