*=~,¨¨¨¨¨¨ 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 - ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨,~=
