Down the Rabbit Hole
_____________________________________________________________________________
Chapter One
She sat in bed staring at the empty space before her very eyes, her pupils dilating and covering her violet blue eyes. She grabbed her head as it starting spinning, as if a hammer was being thrown against her head. Then she realized she was falling, and falling, and falling, down, down the rabbit hole.
She did not know how long she had been falling. Hours, minutes, or seconds? She put out her hands and felt the bed beneath her. She could not see anything, not even the white dress she wore. Then she heard a THUMP. She had stopped falling. She put out her hands once again, felt her way off the bed, and walked forward, inch by inch. The darkness was scaring her: she thought her beating heart would burst from beating too hysterically.
"Oh dear! The time! The time!" She stopped and listened once again for the voice. "Oh, the time! The time!" She walked towards the deep, frantic voice, running towards it when the voice was fading into the darkness. As she ran closer and closer, the darkness seemed to be leaving.
A clock somewhere struck once, then twice, and then it struck continuously. She gasped. "No! The time, Alice, the time!" and the man in the black tailored suit with the tall hat grabbed the surprised Alice and jumped towards the sound of the striking clock.
