This might be the last thing I post in a while, whilst I'm not actively taking part, I'm going to see if I can write 50,000 words for NaNoWriMo xx It's going to be a big challenge so I'd like the try it. However, I doubt I'll manage 50,000 in one story, so I might end up with loads of one-shots (which I might be able to post over the month).
Curious things start with the letter M. Murderers (off-with-their-head) and macabre and maliciousness (caviar and tadpole sandwiches) and magic and morbid and machete (he was almost executed with one of those. Or was it a sword? Or something else entirely? And it was Chessur who was almost executed - and his hat. Not Cheshire's hat.). The Macarena and macaroni and maybe (possibilities are wonderful things. As long as they belong to him - and maybe Alice. She thinks (thought) this was all a dream. And if it is (was) then possibilities are amazing things) and mad and madness. He's not quite sure what started his pondering, only that it is now an obsession - or as close to an obsession as he can get. He has a very short attention span after all - he can't quite get rid of the thoughts - not even when he's been captured by the Red Queen, his head almost on the chopping block (well his hat certainly was, thank you Cheshire, no Chessur really thank you), escaping the Red Queen.
He can't stop wondering the Red Queen's fashion for red either. Or her taste in hats (he was quite fond of at least twelve of his designs - even if they weren't his best - who did their best when captured? Well some people did - they wanted to be free - he wanted to be free).
Madness. Maybe that's what started his fashion (hats) for the letter M - he's certainly and most wonderfully mad. Mad and madness - mad as in rage or mad as in insanity - sometimes he can't decide. He likes the letter I more than the letter R though (R stands for Red) so maybe its insanity. Maybe if mad stood for anger he might like it better - he likes A. It's even been certified by Alice (A) - who isn't mad as much as she likes to pretend she is. (Or maybe she is mad and he's just a part of her madness. What if he's not real? What if his hat's not real. That would be shame - he likes his hat - Chessur likes his hat as well. He keeps on trying to steal (save) it.)
So the letter M could be his favourite - because it sums up who he is. (He quite likes the letter A as well. A for Alice. He doesn't like Q much. He's not had much luck with Queen's.) He is utterly mad and utterly M. To a tee.
(He's not too fond of the letter T either. T brings trouble. He likes to drink it though.)
