§§¨§¨¨§§¨§ 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 - ¨¨§¨¨¨¨§¨§
