Forget Alice My Name is Morgan
Chapter 1
I need to write all of this down. If I don't ill never believe it wasn't a dream. If you're reading this it's probably because I'm in an insane asylum. Oh well, here goes.
It all started when I was hanging out with my family in the backyard. Our backyard isn't that big so I thought I had explored all its corners. But for some reason one part of our yard seemed untouched. I went to go check it out and I saw a really deep hole. Now knowing the fact that we have a dog I figured it was his doing. I wondered why our dog had a need to dig such a deep hole. So I reached my arm in trying to feel around for a bone or a toy that he may have buried. But my hand didn't touch anything. Just empty space so I reached deeper and deeper until I fell head first down the hole and as I feel I saw a smartly dressed white rabbit nodding his head as if in approval.
And I fell deeper and deeper into the hole. I thought I was going to die. I thought of all if my friends. And how devastated they would all be when they found my broken and dead body at the bottom of this seemingly endless hole. Then I thought about what would happen if they didn't find my body. How my parents would wonder about me for the rest of they're lives. Wondering where I had gone on this fateful afternoon.
Now for most of this time I had my eyes closed, because really who wants to watch themselves die. But when I didn't hit rock bottom right away I decided to open my eyes slightly. And when I did I saw the strangest sights. I saw clocks moving backwards floating in a jelly like mass falling with me. I saw a family of flamingos sitting at the dinner table saying grace before eating plummeting at a different rate than me but plummeting all the same. I saw many other things to strange to describe I thought that I was seeing my life flash before my eyes. But I was pretty sure that I wasn't that messed up in the head. Just as I was starting to ponder what these strange sights meant I hit the bottom of the hole.
Just as I landed in a heap on the dirty muddy floor the white rabbit I saw as I was falling down landed next to me gracefully. At first he had a slight smile on his face then his smile disappeared. Then he opened his mouth and spoke.
"Hurry miss Taylor we don't have much time." He said looking down at me. Of course at this point I was very confused. Because as you know rabbits aren't supposed to talk.
"Um I'm sorry but … did you just talk?" I asked dumbfounded. At this the rabbit looked very frustrated. And said
"I don't have time for this! We need to leave NOW we are very late!" and he grabbed my arm and furiously pulled me in the direction of a tunnel I hadn't notice until I was already in it. As soon as I was in the tunnel the rabbit kept hopping into the tunnel. Since I had no other option I followed him.
I had to run to keep up with him but eventually he stopped in a room that had a table and a couple of doors all of them locked. One stood out in particular. It was very small. The rabbit gave me some instructions
"First you must grab that key." He said pointing to the key that was on the table in the middle of the room.
"Then you will drink the bottle that says drink me on it. However you must remember not to let go of that key at any cost."
I did as he said, grabbed the key and drank a sip of the bottle label "drink me" then I held on to the key as tight as I could. Then the rabbit grabbed the bottle and drank some too. Suddenly we both started to shrink it was kind of painful. Eventually we were just the right size to go through the door. The rabbit snatched the key out of my hand and put it in the key hole. Turned it and then opened the door. And went through it. Leaving me standing there. He peeked through the door and said
"Are you coming or not?" so I followed him of course but I noticed that my clothes hadn't shrank with me. The rabbit didn't seem to care about this at first but when he saw me trying to cover myself up in the giant heap of my clothes he hesitated.
"Stay there for just a minute" and he went through the door for a min or two and then he returned and through some clothes.
" I won't look I promise" he said and then he turned his back to me and stared at the door while also holding it open with his hand so that when I was done we could get on with this strange journey.
As I bent down to grab the clothes I had been thrown I realized something very disturbing. The clothes weren't clothes at all.
"These aren't clothes! They're lingerie!" I shouted at the rabbit.
"Trust me you'll need them later" he said with a snicker "and plus it's all I could find for the time being"
I grumbled a bit and put them on hoping that they hadn't been worn by anyone else before but not letting my mind linger on the subject. I didn't want to puke after all.
It was a bright red pair of underclothes. Thankfully it came with a small silk robe that was the same color as the underclothes. When I was finished getting dressed I walked over to the door and the rabbit opened the door for me with a slight bow. Then I stepped out of the room into a place that truly deserved to be called Wonderland.
