Alice "Just Who Am I?"

Who am I? Am I Alice or… am I Alice?  What is an Alice? A name. A thing. A word. These things lingered in my mind. Who would have a guessed I’d come close to figuring it out. Sitting by the riverbank, who knew I would encounter something unusual. At first it wasn’t unusual.  What was unusual about seeing a cute, white rabbit with pink eyes scurrying by? Nothing I suppose, but indeed it was an unusual encounter with a talking rabbit wearing a waistcoat and a pocket watch.   I did think to myself that maybe I was going crazy in a sense.  Strangely enough curiosity got the best of me so I followed the white rabbit down the rabbit hole.  I never would have imagined that falling down a hole would bring me to an unexpected world or maybe it was just a figment of my imagination, a dream of sorts. I wanted to continue to follow the rabbit but in the process I grew and shrunk multiple times to get where he was.  He was beyond the door that led to a beautiful GARDEN.  My mind was set I needed to get there, by all means.   Going beyond the doors I became engulfed in my own tears and had to swim my way out.  My tears brought about another encounter one with a mouse (that gets seriously offended when I mention Dinah-my cat, or any cat or dog at that), a Dodo with a strange type of race where everyone wins, Lory which I constantly argued with, and the Eaglet which is such a sassy little thing.  The white rabbit you see, I needed to find and to my surprise he was there and for some reason had mistaken me for his maid someone called Mary Ann.  At the rabbit’s home I met some interesting characters like a lizard named Bill and even the rabbit surprised me.  Maybe he was the crazy one wanting to burn down his own home. 

Later I found myself with a hookah-smoking blue caterpillar that pissed me off to no end.  His riddles and questions just kept getting really annoying. I suppose though his questions did make me think.  Exactly who was I? That question kept ringing in my head. But the questions kept getting annoying so I guessed I went and got him angry when I said something about being 3 inches tall was an unsightly size for me.  Further down my journey I encountered a pigeon that was so bent on me being a serpent, since I had eaten a bit of some mushrooms (suggested by the caterpillar) that made me grow immensely and I had a long serpent-like neck. I met a frog that was quite odd, but even odder was the Duchess and the baby she was nursing.  The Duchess was a weird woman due to the fact that the cook was throwing many things at her like pots, pans, etc and she didn’t even wince once.  Not to mention the baby, it was turning into a pig.  To my surprise though when I met the Duchess there was this grinning cat, the Cheshire cat.  Just like the caterpillar, Cheshire-puss (what I call him), was all about questions and riddles.   That also brings me to the Mad Hatter, the Mad Hare, and the Dormouse led to me by the Puss.  They were having a tea party you see and seeing as the table wasn’t full I invited myself to join in their little soiree.  Not much to my surprise as said by Cheshire-puss they were mad indeed.  Not like angry mad-though some may argue-but more like crazy mad. Could this be an insight to what or who I am? But for their state of mind I couldn’t blame them after the kind of rule they were under.  The Queen or rather Queen of Hearts.  She’s a vile woman I would say.  Wanting red roses and if they weren’t red she’d take off your head.  She even imprisoned the Duchess when she herself asked the Duchess to play croquet with her. Then now I was to play with her. Will she or I play fair? Who knows my head maybe chopped off next...
