What Alice Found There

Prologue: Remembering a Young Girl

Once upon some time ago, there was a young girl. And this girl was not remembered for living in a palace or mansion on the countryside, or for having servants wait on her hand and foot, for she had none of these things. All she had was her family; her mother and father and her baby sister. She was quite satisfied living a beautifully normal life, until everything changed in one short tick of the second hand.

The tragic, life-changing incident was the last thing to be expected, and jumped out at everyone like a lion hunting its prey.

The young girl was just helping her mother one day, as she always did. But then the girl stopped dead, dropping the tray of food she had been carrying. Her mother was instantly aware and alarmed, shrieking for help as the girl lost all color, and darkness drowned the light from her eyes. Then the girl began to shake violently, collapsing in a heap on the floor. She was completely oblivious to the frenzy of chaos surrounding her.

No one would ever really know what happened that day, but the girl was said to never have been the same. After the third time this happened to the girl, her parents called a specialist, and the men in the white coats came and took her away.

Of course, this was the last thing the mother wanted to do, send her daughter away and never be allowed to see her again. But the girl's constant wailing and pleas for help told the mother that it was best.

One year after the girl was taken away, she disappeared. No one knew what had happened to her, and everyone finally decided that she was dead.

But the girl was the farthest thing from dead. Death could never grasp her now. She was changed, immortal, forever lost to the world around her. This is her story, the story of a girl, forever banished from her world, going through a looking glass, some may say. This is what she found there.
