¨.~††@§§## 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 #§††~¨¨¨¨¨
