¨¨.~^§$£@# In This Dream  I  Was  A  Girl  Of Maybe #@£$§^~.¨¨
¨.~^§$£@## Sixteen Years, Together With  My Dad  In ##@£$§^~.¨
¨¨.~^§$£@# A  Huge  Bath  House  /  Spa  / Hotel  / #@£$§^~.¨¨
¨.~^§$£@## Shopping centre.      Dad  Was Constatly ##@£$§^~.¨
¨¨.~^§$£@# Pointing Out Hot Girls To  Me.  "You See #@£$§^~.¨¨
¨.~^§$£@##   That Black-Haired Thing Dissapearing   ##@£$§^~.¨
¨¨.~^§$£@# Behind  The  Clothes  Rack?  Oof!"  He'D #@£$§^~.¨¨

¨.~^§$£@##                                          ##@£$§^~.¨

¨¨.~^§$£@# Shoes,  But She Had  Accepted  Them Only #@£$§^~.¨¨
¨.~^§$£@## To Run Away  Immediately  Afterward. Dad ##@£$§^~.¨
¨¨.~^§$£@# Was   A  Bit   Bummed  But   Dropped  It #@£$§^~.¨¨
¨.~^§$£@## Quickly.  I Said  Goodnight  To Him  And ##@£$§^~.¨

¨.~^§$£@##                                          ##@£$§^~.¨
¨¨.~^§$£@# The Building Was  Enormous And Mazelike. #@£$§^~.¨¨
¨.~^§$£@## Walls, Floors  And Pillars  Were  Set In ##@£$§^~.¨
¨¨.~^§$£@# Green Marble.  Throughout The  House Ran #@£$§^~.¨¨
¨.~^§$£@## A  Main  Boulevard,  Wide  As  A Street, ##@£$§^~.¨
¨¨.~^§$£@# Framed With Clay Vases Dark As  Obsidian #@£$§^~.¨¨
¨.~^§$£@## And Taller Than  A Person.  In Each Vase ##@£$§^~.¨
¨¨.~^§$£@# Was Placed  Upright  A Leaf  From A Palm #@£$§^~.¨¨
¨.~^§$£@## Tree  Or  Giant Fern.  The Boulevard Was ##@£$§^~.¨
¨¨.~^§$£@# Dimly Lit,  Which Allowed The Pools That #@£$§^~.¨¨
¨.~^§$£@##   Were Generously Sprinkled Throughout   ##@£$§^~.¨
¨¨.~^§$£@#    Each Floor Would Reflect Suggestive   #@£$§^~.¨¨

¨.~^§$£@## Following The Boulevard,  Two  Floors Up ##@£$§^~.¨
¨¨.~^§$£@# I  Found  Her  Crying  Behind  Two  Fern #@£$§^~.¨¨
¨.~^§$£@## Vases.  She  Was  Beautiful,  And  As  I ##@£$§^~.¨
¨¨.~^§$£@# Approached, She  Looked Up And Sniveled. #@£$§^~.¨¨
¨.~^§$£@## In  The  Nearest  Vase She  Had  Stuffed ##@£$§^~.¨
¨¨.~^§$£@#              Both The Shoes.             #@£$§^~.¨¨
¨.~^§$£@##                                          ##@£$§^~.¨
¨¨.~^§$£@# I  Told Her  To Follow,  But She  Didn'T #@£$§^~.¨¨
¨.~^§$£@## Move  Or  Speak. So  Instead  I Said  To ##@£$§^~.¨
¨¨.~^§$£@# Stay There, And Ran To Get Her A  Better #@£$§^~.¨¨
¨.~^§$£@## Pair Of  Shoes That  She  Would Actually ##@£$§^~.¨
¨¨.~^§$£@# Like.  When  I  Returned,  Having  Spent #@£$§^~.¨¨
¨.~^§$£@## More Than  I  Could  Really Afford,  She ##@£$§^~.¨
¨¨.~^§$£@# Was Visibly Impressed.  I Tried To Sound #@£$§^~.¨¨
¨.~^§$£@## Cool,  Saying Something  Like  "What  Do ##@£$§^~.¨
¨¨.~^§$£@# You  Think, Just  Because  A Girl  Has A #@£$§^~.¨¨
¨.~^§$£@## Freaky Dad,  She  Doesn'T  Have  Taste?" ##@£$§^~.¨
¨¨.~^§$£@# But  Mouse  Girl  Just  Laughed  At  Me. #@£$§^~.¨¨
¨.~^§$£@##                                          ##@£$§^~.¨
¨¨.~^§$£@# She Then Took Me By The Hand And Led  Me #@£$§^~.¨¨
¨.~^§$£@## Out   A  Side   Route  To  A  Closed-Off ##@£$§^~.¨
¨¨.~^§$£@# Rooftop Walking Garden,  Full Of Juniper #@£$§^~.¨¨
¨.~^§$£@## And Thuja. It Was A  Late  Evening,  And ##@£$§^~.¨
¨¨.~^§$£@#     The Stars Were Glittering. Being     #@£$§^~.¨¨
¨.~^§$£@## Closed, The Garden Had  Its Light Turned ##@£$§^~.¨
¨¨.~^§$£@# Off,  But  We  Could Still See  Our  Way #@£$§^~.¨¨
¨.~^§$£@## Around  By The Light  Shining Down  From ##@£$§^~.¨
¨¨.~^§$£@# The  Windows   Of   The  Higher  Floors. #@£$§^~.¨¨
¨.~^§$£@##                                          ##@£$§^~.¨
¨¨.~^§$£@# She Lay Down In  A Patch Of Grass. I Sat #@£$§^~.¨¨
¨.~^§$£@## Down  On  My  Knees,  And  Then  Crawled ##@£$§^~.¨
¨¨.~^§$£@# Closer.  She  Laughed At  Me Again,  And #@£$§^~.¨¨
¨.~^§$£@##                  Said -                  ##@£$§^~.¨
