¨¨¨§§§§¨¨¨ 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 - ¨¨§§¨¨§§§§
