Today I am Alice

Alice is alone

Alice awoke with a start, she sat up and noticed that she was sitting on the ground,not the green grass she remembered lying on as she took a nap,but hard cold smooth dirt.She looked around her and also noticed that the trees that once shaded her were gone too.Where was she and what had happened? She was in the middle of a vast  nothingness,empty nothingness far as her eyes could see .There were no trees there were no hills or paths no birds or even clouds in the sky.Just a flat plain as far as a eye could see,just brown dirt nothing else.She tried to remember what had happened but there was a empty hole where her memory use to be.What trechery had befallen her and who would do such a thing she thought to herself. She stood up and slowly turned around in a circle ,nothing ,nothing nothing was there and everywhere.Suddenly she felt so very small and alone. Tears began to welt up in her eyes as she realised that she was truly alone in this strange place,and nobody cared. She called out 'hello' but heard only a small lonely echo that sounded like a muffled cry.What was happening .She was now truly scared. She was alone. No one to help her along her way or anyone to care for her, She couldnt remember if she had ever had been loved by anyone,or even if she had any true friends. The only thing she knew at the moment in time was that she was truly alone and that brought such sorrow to her that she began to cry,not a soft cry but a deep soulful cry of a heart breaking.As she grew tired and stopped crying alittle she saw something in the corner of her biurry tear filled eyes, slowly she wiped her eyes with her tiny hand as she sniffled now and then.She blinked and blinked again,what she thought she was seeing was a tall mirror with wood trim around it a few feet away. Slowly and ever so carefully walked toward it,as she did she noticed that the mirror hung suspended in mid air.It was not touching the ground but hung there about 2 foot above it. Slowly she approched it and began to circle around the great mirror,there was a large wooden frame and it had a wooden backing ,in the front...well it was a true mirror but the reflection she thought she would see was very different .Instead of her reflection and that of nothingness she saw a beatiful land with trees and grass ,meny paths ,birds flying and creatures everywhere. Oh how wide her eyes opened as she gazed into the mirror and slowly her memory was returning.'Oh' she said out loud ' I remember I remember,this place is a wonderland, my wonderland'as she clapped her hands together and smiled.She reached out and tried to step thru the mirror but she smacked into it,she tried to put both hands and push on it,but there no way to step thru the mirror no matter what she tried.She sat down with a thump and began to cry,'oh why cant I get back again and why isnt the mirror letting me thru?'As she sat and watched the beatiful creatures moving and the butterflys flying,the wind gently blowing in the green trees,sadness began again to creep back into her mind,slowly she turned her back on the mirror and looked out on the nothingness, she began to weep.....
