¨¨¨¨¨¨-==† 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 - -¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
