¨¨¨¨^††*&@ 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 - #@@&%*†-^¨
