AGAIN && again. like a stubborn fly , you swattedd it away , it came back with a vengeance. && for a second , she had hoped he had left. GOTTEN the message. but who was she kidding ? slender fingers played in her hair , whom she could only imagine belonged to him.
SHE remembered her long blonde curls. the envy of her class mates , the hate of her father. different. ALICE was different , her mother used to say. if only they could see her now. haunted by the characters of her books.
❛ WHY would i , cat ? your world is mad. where cats smile , where roses are of all colors. where RABBITS speak. && it’s always time for tea. fall , fall , alice , you used to tell me. no more. ❜ her eyes caught those of a waiter && something SHIFTED. the balance. chesh’s LUCK. or perhaps it was the waiter’s. no longer was it her time to fall. && as the world would want it ,
she stepped aside as WINE SPILLED. towards the cat.
to PONDER on fantasies for too long is a dangerous thing; d r e a m s are restrained, limited for a reason. no drug is as powerful as our own imagination, our ability to twist & bend reality to our will. who didn’t once wish to embrace the thoughts that fester in our beings? we are all ROTTING inside skeletons, trapped in prisons of our own making, decaying dreams & forgotten pleas.
❛ why WOULDN’T you, alice? wonderland is a place of dreams & endless possibilities. it’s YOURS. ours. wouldn't it be nice to run away from everything and live the life of freedom? you don’t have to wait for anything there because... time is yours. don’t you wanna be SOMEWHERE you belong? this world wasn’t made for you, it’s all black & white... ❜
those LARGE slit irises w i d e n at the sight unfolding before him; droplets of sticky red clung to the fabric of his vest before he was able to vanish into thin air; a s c o w l now forming on his lips, slender fingers attempt to wipe off the stain. he doesn’t bother to GLANCE at the man but instead directs his gaze towards the guilty party--- black soles crushing shattered grass & lollipop cane kicking the sharp edges out of the way.
❛ now, that wasn’t very NICE, was it? i’d traveled all this way just for you--- and that’s how you repay me? no--- i get it. fine. have it your way. stay in a world that despises you & rejects your very existence--- i’ll find another girl, one a little more humble. ❜
