####&$%*«, Sixteen Years, Together With My Dad In ,«*%$&####
###&$%*«,¨ A Huge Bath House / Spa / Hotel / ¨,«*%$&###
####&$%*«, Shopping centre. Dad Was Constatly ,«*%$&####
###&$%*«,¨ Pointing Out Hot Girls To Me. "You See ¨,«*%$&###
####&$%*«, That Black-Haired Thing Dissapearing ,«*%$&####
###&$%*«,¨ Behind The Clothes Rack? Oof!" He'D ¨,«*%$&###
####&$%*«, Say. He Was Always Very Creepy About ,«*%$&####
###&$%*«,¨ This, Going For Girls My Age. ¨,«*%$&###

####&$%*«, To Run Away Immediately Afterward. Dad ,«*%$&####

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

###&$%*«,¨ I Found Her Crying Behind Two Fern ¨,«*%$&###
####&$%*«, Vases. She Was Beautiful, And As I ,«*%$&####
###&$%*«,¨ Approached, She Looked Up And Sniveled. ¨,«*%$&###
####&$%*«, In The Nearest Vase She Had Stuffed ,«*%$&####
###&$%*«,¨ Both The Shoes. ¨,«*%$&###
####&$%*«, ,«*%$&####
###&$%*«,¨ I Told Her To Follow, But She Didn'T ¨,«*%$&###
####&$%*«, Move Or Speak. So Instead I Said To ,«*%$&####
###&$%*«,¨ Stay There, And Ran To Get Her A Better ¨,«*%$&###
####&$%*«, Pair Of Shoes That She Would Actually ,«*%$&####
###&$%*«,¨ Like. When I Returned, Having Spent ¨,«*%$&###
####&$%*«, More Than I Could Really Afford, She ,«*%$&####
###&$%*«,¨ Was Visibly Impressed. I Tried To Sound ¨,«*%$&###
####&$%*«, Cool, Saying Something Like "What Do ,«*%$&####
###&$%*«,¨ You Think, Just Because A Girl Has A ¨,«*%$&###
####&$%*«, Freaky Dad, She Doesn'T Have Taste?" ,«*%$&####
###&$%*«,¨ But Mouse Girl Just Laughed At Me. ¨,«*%$&###
####&$%*«, ,«*%$&####
###&$%*«,¨ She Then Took Me By The Hand And Led Me ¨,«*%$&###
####&$%*«, Out A Side Route To A Closed-Off ,«*%$&####
###&$%*«,¨ Rooftop Walking Garden, Full Of Juniper ¨,«*%$&###
####&$%*«, And Thuja. It Was A Late Evening, And ,«*%$&####

###&$%*«,¨ Off, But We Could Still See Our Way ¨,«*%$&###
####&$%*«, Around By The Light Shining Down From ,«*%$&####
###&$%*«,¨ The Windows Of The Higher Floors. ¨,«*%$&###
