@#§§^/~.,, 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 - ,,,,,.~/^§
