What You Must Know
Alice, a name with intent and meaning of the audacious sort. Audacious, meaning bold or fearless, stem of the Latin word audax which means "bold". Alice…what exactly does the name mean? Does it mean to you Alice as in a desire to inflict pain upon others, or does it mean Alice as in stoned writers imagining little girls following bunnies? Whatever the meaning, it doesn't matter because this tale of which you shall read of is about an Alice who just doesn't know what Alice means. Who can blame the soul for finding an unfathomable code behind the 5 letter name; the truth is that we must find meanings of our names for ourselves mustn't we? You are only as strong as your weakest link. Ever heard this before? If not, I pity you unfortunate dupe for this is often found to be true. In what way does this relate to Alice? How would I know, for I am merely a translator of a story which once drifted in the breeze waiting for a willing vessel. Still, vessels and their parades are rained upon.
The steady sound of splosh, splash. Heavy beating of feet; that's the noise you hear on a rainy day. Splash. Splosh. A heart starts racing, breathing gets heavy, the volume of the splash increases. 'Why am I running? Why even bother?' The thought echoes through the runner's head. They glance back only to see that the thing they are trying to avoid is not a long way back. 'Just why?' The runner stops to catch a breath, and they know that they must kiss death in a warm manner, as the thing they attempted to run from comes to them. They look up to the heavens and see what they expected; clouds.
Clouds suffocate us with their wispy ways. Fluffy collections of air molecules float above our heads while we continue on in our heavy chains that weigh down our hearts. "Fluffy cotton candy, that's what I see," a young girl says as she sets her eyes to the skies and heavens above. Little did she know was that not too long ago, those very clouds wrote her destiny with nimble fingers and high hopes that a lesson would be taught unto her. Funny how the skies know when and how we shall slip up before the undesirable events. Funny. In fact, it's downright hilarious.
