¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨-- 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 - -¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
