==,¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ 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 - ¨¨,==§£#@#
