###§%†:-,, say. he was always very creepy about ,,-:†%§###
###§%†:-,, this, going for girls my age. ,,-:†%§###
#%:::-,,,, ,,,,-:::%#
####%†:-,, this night he had just tried to woo a ,,-:†%####

###§%†:-,, shoes, but she had accepted them only ,,-:†%§###

§†-,,,,,,, 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 ,,---::%##
