##§&*†=... 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 ...=†*&§##

###§&*†=.. vases. she was beautiful, and as i ..=†*&§###
##§&*†=... approached, she looked up and sniveled. ...=†*&§##

###§&*†=.. 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 ...=†*&§##

###§&*†=.. 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 ...=†*&§##

##§&*†=... the stars were glittering. being ...=†*&§##
###§&*†=.. closed, the garden had its light turned ..=†*&§###

##§&*†=... the windows of the higher floors. ...=†*&§##
###§&*†=.. ..=†*&§###
