££&=--.... 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 - .-~=†&££##
