§¨§§¨¨¨§§§ 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 - ¨¨¨§¨§§¨¨¨
