@£@¤^/~,.. 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 ....,~/^¤@

^/~,...... ......,~/^
/~,....... / / / / .......,~/
^/~,...... ......,~/^
¤^/~,..... 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 ...,~/^¤@£
