¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨.~ 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 - #@@@$=\~.¨
