¨¨¨¨.-†%£# 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 - £%†-.¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨.-†%£# #£%†-.¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨.-†%£## † † † † ##£%†-.¨¨¨
