§,§§,§§,§, 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. ,,§,§,§,§,

§,,§,,§,§, down  on  my  knees,  and  then  crawled ,§§,§,§,§,
§,§§,§§,§, closer. she  laughed  at  me again,  and ,,§,§,§,§,
