.#.#..#.#. 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 - #.#.#.#.##
