Hi. I haven't written anything (and posted it) for about a year so I'm a bit nervous about doing it. So please go easy on it wouldn't be a fanfiction if I didn't beg you for reviews so i will, good or bad, praising or productive criticism (go easy on me) I wanna hear it. I'll never learn if you don't held me.
Disclaimer: It feels weird doing this, but not because I own Alice in Wonderland because I don't.
Down.
Down.
Down.
Alice fell.
Down a rabbit hole? No, I don't think so.
Off a tree? Yes.
Falling a little too hard, landing her right in the most beautiful room at the most expensive mental hospital in the country.
Her so called white rabbit was the kind doctor who used his grandfather's pocket watch to check Alice's pulse each day.
Her next door neighbour, a cat that she claims can grin. But one mistake, he was just a man who was the only person in the "Home" who was aware of his mental illness and took great pleasure in confusing the others about theirs.
The mad hatter had an illness that made him have a fetish for hats and obsession with tea.
He was also joined in his obsession by the march hare who was actually a man dressed in drag but Alice's poor, little, innocent mind couldn't comprehend that so it put him as a hare.
Another guest at the mad tea party. The dormouse. He can't seem to stay awake but really he was a doctor in training who would spy on the patients to earn graces from his senior doctors
What about the wise caterpillar. A truly clever man with very little resemblance to caterpillar apart from his height. He almost had a PhD but shortly before graduation got in with the wrong people and started taking drugs and drink.
The baby that turned into a pig. You must remember that this was a time that people didn't understand true mental illness. So even a baby who's cries a little too much because of a mother who hit him and a cook who used too much pepper, could be taken to the children's ward. As for turning into a pig, well Alice took a shining to it and the cat got jealous so he decided to play a little prank.
The queen of hearts, a woman of large wealth who killed her real husband because she was cheating and claimed insanity to keep her husband's money not thinking she would end up with the company she did. She believed it was her job to rule the hospital's patients with her sharp tongue.
Her partner the king was the man she had an affair with who was actually insane.
Some characters that she only meets briefly is the unfortunate Knave of hearts as well as the Two, Five, and Seven. The knave, man on trial, accused of stealing the tarts of the Queen of Hearts even though she ate them and held a trial because she was bored. The three painters really did as they were accused by painting the roses, as red roses weren't allowed in the hospital because one of the patients had a bad reaction to them.
What about little Alice's sister she was there the whole time visiting her sister almost every day but Alice never saw her she was invisible up until the day Alice was miraculously cured.
What about the many events of her dream like the table with the key on it? It was a test given by her doctors to see if she had made any improvements. Of course she failed and went crying into the garden, falling into the fish pond and talking to the "animals". Yeah more like leaves and fish.
All the growing and shrinking wasn't real it was just the measure of her self-esteem when she was too large or too small she felt bad about herself but if she was the right size she felt good.
The croquet mallets in the match just happened to be covered in pink soft coating to stop the patients from hurting themselves and who knows where the hedgehogs.
And the whole trial was a game that the queen played because she was as I said, bored. It led up to Alice regaining her sanity causing her to be chased out of her own dreams by the people she had imagined.
Thankyou for reading and please, please review.
