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