"Seriously, Alice?"

This is the fourth time I've called her.
It's getting hotter,

and this giant tree is the only marker I have of my

relative

location.
She's probably in her own Wonderland

again,

staying true to her namesake.

My body temperature is slowly increasing and I'm keenly aware of

the sweat
d

ripping

down


my forehead,

and my parched throat,

and my suffocating lungs.

I only want to feel like this when it's that intimate

skin-to-skin contact

and not

blistering

heat.
