Wonderland. I am in it. Or Underland, as the inhabitants call it. There are trees and plants of purple and violet, jade and emerald, indigo and cerulean. I twirl about, observing my surroundings, and the peculiar door I have just entered, but dare not to exit with. I lean up against a TumTum tree. 'Tis brillig out indeed. How did the poem go? Twas Brillig... in the... slithy toves? Did gyre and gimble in the wabe... All mimsy in the borogroves... And mome raths outgrabe... No matter. I am gone, gone from my obligations. They have disappeared, no, they have been decimated. My dress of ribbons that is slightly loose, but better than the dress I was wearing before, blows in the wind, revealing my knickers. I push the skirt down so as to prevent this, looking around to see if anyone... or anything has seen this dreadful sight. It is simply a large TumTum tree behind me. I sit down, to inhale my surrondings, take this new world in through my pours and then savor it, like the finest candy. A chubby fellow pops up from behind the TumTum tree, and my first thought is focused on whether he saw me with my skirt lifted or not. He quickly disappears, the pops up on the other side. I go to the other side, thinking of nothing but my dignity. Out pops the boyish creature yet again, but this time with a face exactly like the one I have just seen. Maybe I am truly schizophrenic. Or someone put a hallucinogen in my tea, thinking it was the Lady Margot's cup. But it's not that. There really is two of them. I looked confused at the creatures as though I have never seen, or even heard of, twins before. They both look at me, beaming, a smile on their face and a song in their hearts. There must be some mistake. I do not know them. "Alice," they say in unison. They know my name? This can not be so. They turn on their heels, then look at me over their shoulders as a butterfly flitters past, shimmering and iradescent. "Come, now Alice. We've been expecting you." Wonderland. I am in it.
