What are you thinking Alice!
Alice thought that perhaps her thoughts might be written on her forehead so she had better thought something else quickly. She wrung her hands. As the lump went down her throat, her peter pan collar began to strangle her as if it was an idea that she should not have swallowed. Had someone been feeding her bad ideas?


The Queen was in an off mood. A black swathe of weeping underneath her heartening robes. “Why is it that I’m in such a foul mood everytime someone looks at me. I can’t help it. It is the time of the month for running into cars and ripping people’s heads off.


Then suddenly Alice remembered why she hated all the tarts that had ever existed. At a school camp they had upset her very badly.
“We dare Alice to kiss Jack!”
If Jack had really loved her he wouldn’t have crawled over towards her making grunting noises with his eyes ready to roll out of his sockets and into her pockets. They all laughed merrily because he wasn’t good at English and could always act the fool.


She had dashed into the dark night leaving a trail of tears that no-one followed. And now here she was doing it again because the caterpillar had asked her to take off the blue dress and when she replied that she had tried but she couldn’t he laughed and left.
He laughed and left.
