#£§*†==-¨¨ 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 -                  ¨-==†*§£##
