Alice in Wonderland/American McGee's Alice, Alice-centric & down the rabbit hole
.
.
.
.
The world isn't pretty, it really isn't—not anymore.
The one in her head, especially; it's chaotic.
Wonderland is topsy-turvy. Everything about it is wrong, wrong, wrong.
In this world, the one where she lives and breaths, nothing is as it seems.
The doctors continually whisper sweet things to her ("We promise you that you will get better. We promise you, Alice.") and the nurses concur with these statements, hovering over—all around her, it's suffocating—her with pretty little needles and equally pretty words ("You're doing so much better, Alice. You really are.") that don't mean a thing.
Alice hates this world the most. Nobody believes her when she talks about the rabbit and mad tea parties, the Jabberwocky, and—
Nobody listens to her ("All that Liddell girl says is nonsense."). They look at her, with pretty smiles and worried eyes, thinking, Oh my.
And Alice isn't going mad—she isn't, she's telling the truth.
Now, with the biting straps and the needles poking into her veins, Alice feels it better to lie.
