..--/§&¤#@ 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 - #@#¤&§/--.
