little girl

Much of the army felt indifferent about Alice leading their way through the Queen's maze. She was, after all, not one of them. She came from a different world. One very backwards from their own. Where things were North and things were South. Right to Left. Black and White.

Alice, herself, was nervous. She didn't like the Queen one bit. Whenever a thought of her would arise, she would get a filthy taste in her mouth. She wondered who this Boy General was. She admired his horse.

'Are you scared?' the Boy General inquired.

'Just a bit nervous. I don't think she is a kind woman at all. She is so cruel.'

'How long have you been in Wonderland little girl?'

'Oh, well, let me see.' She thought. 'Well maybe I came 2 days ago. Or, um, maybe last week. Or a month, or even a year. Oh, Mr. General, I can't remember. So many things have happened. So many people I've met along the way. White Rabbit is by far the only one I can really trust - even if he is always running.'

'You can trust me,' he said. 'I mean you only good.'

'Why haven't I seen you before?' Alice asked.

'That I can't answer you, I'm sorry.'

They army was growing tired. They needed rest. Boy General granted them that.

Alice, alone, but near the White Rabbit, sat. She pondered about the maze. Hoping she would find her way. She recalled so many Twists and Turns. Backwards and Forwards. Pushes and Pulls. The army's heads rested in her hands.
