"Alice in wonderland."

I stood there, fingers scanning upon the familiar spines of pages that adorned my bookshelf.

An old tale, one that brings up so many memories and reminiscence- but also one that withered away to the essence of time.

I remember holding the book, flipping along the pages of pretty pictures, beaming at the imaginary world in front of me, saying things like: "I'm gonna be just like them when I grow up!"

I had my fantasies, my fondness, but they are too childish to bring upon further than the imagination.

So I put it away, drifting from the colours of my dreams.

But no matter how long I leave it in the blind spots of my vision, I always end up coming back to it from time to time.

To re-open happiness, to find comfort.

But one day, something happened.

Something unbearable, one that bounded my heart together and shattered it; plunging me into the abyss of darkness.

And during the despairs of sadness, as I wept and sobbed in my room, it called out to me.

"Do you..."

"want a chance to start over?"

"A chance to find true happiness?"

"A chance to be free?"

"If so,"

"Then come with me."

"Come, into the pages."

"And become-

"My Alice."
