¨,~=$%£### in this dream i was a girl of maybe ###£%$=~,¨
¨,~=$%£### sixteen years, together with my dad in ###£%$=~,¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨,=%# 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 #%=,¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨,~=$%£### out a side route to a closed-off ###£%$=~,¨
¨,~=$$$$%# rooftop walking garden, full of juniper #%$$$$=~,¨
¨¨,~~=$%## and thuja. it was a late evening, and ##%$=~~,¨¨
¨,~=$%£### the stars were glittering. being ###£%$=~,¨
¨,~=$%£### closed, the garden had its light turned ###£%$=~,¨
¨,~=$%£### off, but we could still see our way ###£%$=~,¨
¨¨¨¨~~$£## around by the light shining down from ##£$~~¨¨¨¨
¨,~=$%£### the windows of the higher floors. ###£%$=~,¨
¨,~=$%£### ###£%$=~,¨
¨,~=$%£### she lay down in a patch of grass. i sat ###£%$=~,¨
¨,~=$%£### down on my knees, and then crawled ###£%$=~,¨
¨¨¨¨¨~~$%£ closer. she laughed at me again, and £%$~~¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨~$£ said - £$~¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
