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