,#,##,#,## #,#,#,#,##
,#,,#,#,,# 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 - #,#,#,#,##
,#,,#,#,,# #,#,#,#,,#
