@&¤$;^.... sixteen years, together with my dad in ....^;$¤&@
#@&¤$;^... a huge bath house / spa / hotel / ...^;$¤&@#
##@&¤$;^.. shopping centre. dad was constatly ..^;$¤&@##
###@&¤$;^. pointing out hot girls to me. "you see .^;$¤&@###
##@&¤$;^.. that black-haired thing dissapearing ..^;$¤&@##
#@&¤$;^... behind the clothes rack? oof!" he'd ...^;$¤&@#
@&¤$;^.... say. he was always very creepy about ....^;$¤&@
&¤$;^..... this, going for girls my age. .....^;$¤&
¤$;^...... ......^;$¤
$;^....... this night he had just tried to woo a .......^;$
¤$;^...... girl he called a "mouse" by buying her ......^;$¤
&¤$;^..... shoes, but she had accepted them only .....^;$¤&
@&¤$;^.... to run away immediately afterward. dad ....^;$¤&@
#@&¤$;^... was a bit bummed but dropped it ...^;$¤&@#
##@&¤$;^.. quickly. i said goodnight to him and ..^;$¤&@##
###@&¤$;^. went looking for the mouse. .^;$¤&@###
##@&¤$;^.. ..^;$¤&@##
#@&¤$;^... the building was enormous and mazelike. ...^;$¤&@#
@&¤$;^.... walls, floors and pillars were set in ....^;$¤&@
&¤$;^..... green marble. throughout the house ran .....^;$¤&
¤$;^...... a main boulevard, wide as a street, ......^;$¤
$;^....... framed with clay vases dark as obsidian .......^;$
¤$;^...... and taller than a person. in each vase ......^;$¤
&¤$;^..... was placed upright a leaf from a palm .....^;$¤&
@&¤$;^.... tree or giant fern. the boulevard was ....^;$¤&@
#@&¤$;^... dimly lit, which allowed the pools that ...^;$¤&@#
##@&¤$;^.. were generously sprinkled throughout ..^;$¤&@##
###@&¤$;^. each floor would reflect suggestive .^;$¤&@###
##@&¤$;^.. patterns on the marble. ..^;$¤&@##
#@&¤$;^... ...^;$¤&@#
@&¤$;^.... ; ; ; ; ....^;$¤&@
&¤$;^..... .....^;$¤&
¤$;^...... following the boulevard, two floors up ......^;$¤
$;^....... i found her crying behind two fern .......^;$
¤$;^...... vases. she was beautiful, and as i ......^;$¤
&¤$;^..... approached, she looked up and sniveled. .....^;$¤&
@&¤$;^.... in the nearest vase she had stuffed ....^;$¤&@
#@&¤$;^... both the shoes. ...^;$¤&@#
##@&¤$;^.. ..^;$¤&@##
###@&¤$;^. i told her to follow, but she didn't .^;$¤&@###
##@&¤$;^.. move or speak. so instead i said to ..^;$¤&@##
#@&¤$;^... stay there, and ran to get her a better ...^;$¤&@#
@&¤$;^.... pair of shoes that she would actually ....^;$¤&@
&¤$;^..... like. when i returned, having spent .....^;$¤&
¤$;^...... more than i could really afford, she ......^;$¤
$;^....... was visibly impressed. i tried to sound .......^;$
¤$;^...... cool, saying something like "what do ......^;$¤
&¤$;^..... you think, just because a girl has a .....^;$¤&
@&¤$;^.... freaky dad, she doesn't have taste?" ....^;$¤&@
#@&¤$;^... but mouse girl just laughed at me. ...^;$¤&@#
##@&¤$;^.. ..^;$¤&@##
###@&¤$;^. she then took me by the hand and led me .^;$¤&@###
##@&¤$;^.. out a side route to a closed-off ..^;$¤&@##
#@&¤$;^... rooftop walking garden, full of juniper ...^;$¤&@#
@&¤$;^.... and thuja. it was a late evening, and ....^;$¤&@
&¤$;^..... the stars were glittering. being .....^;$¤&
¤$;^...... closed, the garden had its light turned ......^;$¤
$;^....... off, but we could still see our way .......^;$
¤$;^...... around by the light shining down from ......^;$¤
&¤$;^..... the windows of the higher floors. .....^;$¤&
@&¤$;^.... ....^;$¤&@
#@&¤$;^... she lay down in a patch of grass. i sat ...^;$¤&@#
##@&¤$;^.. down on my knees, and then crawled ..^;$¤&@##
###@&¤$;^. closer. she laughed at me again, and .^;$¤&@###
##@&¤$;^.. said - ..^;$¤&@##
