..^~†$§@¶# in this dream i was a girl of maybe #¶@§$†~^..
.^~†$§@¶## sixteen years, together with my dad in ##¶@§$†~^.
..^~†$§@¶# a huge bath house / spa / hotel / #¶@§$†~^..
.^~†$§@¶## shopping centre. dad was constatly ##¶@§$†~^.
..^~†$§@¶# pointing out hot girls to me. "you see #¶@§$†~^..
.^~†$§@¶## that black-haired thing dissapearing ##¶@§$†~^.
..^~†$§@¶# behind the clothes rack? oof!" he'd #¶@§$†~^..
.^~†$§@¶## say. he was always very creepy about ##¶@§$†~^.
..^~†$§@¶# this, going for girls my age. #¶@§$†~^..
.^~†$§@¶## ##¶@§$†~^.
..^~†$§@¶# this night he had just tried to woo a #¶@§$†~^..
.^~†$§@¶## girl he called a "mouse" by buying her ##¶@§$†~^.
..^~†$§@¶# shoes, but she had accepted them only #¶@§$†~^..
.^~†$§@¶## to run away immediately afterward. dad ##¶@§$†~^.
..^~†$§@¶# was a bit bummed but dropped it #¶@§$†~^..
.^~†$§@¶## quickly. i said goodnight to him and ##¶@§$†~^.
..^~†$§@¶# went looking for the mouse. #¶@§$†~^..
.^~†$§@¶## ##¶@§$†~^.
..^~†$§@¶# the building was enormous and mazelike. #¶@§$†~^..
.^~†$§@¶## walls, floors and pillars were set in ##¶@§$†~^.
..^~†$§@¶# green marble. throughout the house ran #¶@§$†~^..
.^~†$§@¶## a main boulevard, wide as a street, ##¶@§$†~^.
..^~†$§@¶# framed with clay vases dark as obsidian #¶@§$†~^..
.^~†$§@¶## and taller than a person. in each vase ##¶@§$†~^.
..^~†$§@¶# was placed upright a leaf from a palm #¶@§$†~^..
.^~†$§@¶## tree or giant fern. the boulevard was ##¶@§$†~^.
..^~†$§@¶# dimly lit, which allowed the pools that #¶@§$†~^..
.^~†$§@¶## were generously sprinkled throughout ##¶@§$†~^.
..^~†$§@¶# each floor would reflect suggestive #¶@§$†~^..
.^~†$§@¶## patterns on the marble. ##¶@§$†~^.
..^~†$§@¶# #¶@§$†~^..
.^~†$§@¶## † † † † ##¶@§$†~^.
..^~†$§@¶# #¶@§$†~^..
.^~†$§@¶## following the boulevard, two floors up ##¶@§$†~^.
..^~†$§@¶# i found her crying behind two fern #¶@§$†~^..
.^~†$§@¶## vases. she was beautiful, and as i ##¶@§$†~^.
..^~†$§@¶# approached, she looked up and sniveled. #¶@§$†~^..
.^~†$§@¶## in the nearest vase she had stuffed ##¶@§$†~^.
..^~†$§@¶# both the shoes. #¶@§$†~^..
.^~†$§@¶## ##¶@§$†~^.
..^~†$§@¶# i told her to follow, but she didn't #¶@§$†~^..
.^~†$§@¶## move or speak. so instead i said to ##¶@§$†~^.
..^~†$§@¶# stay there, and ran to get her a better #¶@§$†~^..
.^~†$§@¶## pair of shoes that she would actually ##¶@§$†~^.
..^~†$§@¶# like. when i returned, having spent #¶@§$†~^..
.^~†$§@¶## more than i could really afford, she ##¶@§$†~^.
..^~†$§@¶# was visibly impressed. i tried to sound #¶@§$†~^..
.^~†$§@¶## cool, saying something like "what do ##¶@§$†~^.
..^~†$§@¶# you think, just because a girl has a #¶@§$†~^..
.^~†$§@¶## freaky dad, she doesn't have taste?" ##¶@§$†~^.
..^~†$§@¶# but mouse girl just laughed at me. #¶@§$†~^..
.^~†$§@¶## ##¶@§$†~^.
..^~†$§@¶# she then took me by the hand and led me #¶@§$†~^..
.^~†$§@¶## out a side route to a closed-off ##¶@§$†~^.
..^~†$§@¶# rooftop walking garden, full of juniper #¶@§$†~^..
.^~†$§@¶## and thuja. it was a late evening, and ##¶@§$†~^.
..^~†$§@¶# the stars were glittering. being #¶@§$†~^..
.^~†$§@¶## closed, the garden had its light turned ##¶@§$†~^.
..^~†$§@¶# off, but we could still see our way #¶@§$†~^..
.^~†$§@¶## around by the light shining down from ##¶@§$†~^.
..^~†$§@¶# the windows of the higher floors. #¶@§$†~^..
.^~†$§@¶## ##¶@§$†~^.
..^~†$§@¶# she lay down in a patch of grass. i sat #¶@§$†~^..
.^~†$§@¶## down on my knees, and then crawled ##¶@§$†~^.
..^~†$§@¶# closer. she laughed at me again, and #¶@§$†~^..
.^~†$§@¶## said - ##¶@§$†~^.
..^~†$§@¶# #¶@§$†~^..
.^~†$§@¶## † † † † ##¶@§$†~^.
..^~†$§@¶# #¶@§$†~^..
