¨.=;^*£¶## 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 - #¶£^;=.¨¨¨
