,¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ 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 ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨,-;

%†;-,¨¨¨¨¨ This, Going For Girls My Age. ¨¨¨¨¨,-;†%

#@§%†;-,¨¨ 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 ¨¨¨¨¨¨,-;†

@§%†;-,¨¨¨ 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 ¨¨¨¨¨¨,-;†

##@§%†;-,¨ 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 ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨,
