§¨§¨§§¨¨§¨ 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 - §¨§¨¨§¨§¨¨
