@.@@.....@ 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 - ..@....@..
