A thick fog blankets the garden. I smell a strange metal-like scent in the air. Slowly, it faded to a sweet floral scent, the kind you expect in spring. Everything just stops as if frozen in time. The fog disappears revealing five abnormally large silhouettes of five abnormally large human-looking creatures. They're extremely tall, with strange masks on their faces. It's hard to tell in the darkness but I make out the faint shape of rabbit ears on each creatures head. I was terrified to say the least. One of the rabbit-human creatures started moving towards me. It stopped a few feet in front of me and started inspecting me. It was clear that they were aliens of some sort but I had no idea where they could have come from. Dark leathery skin, long, muscly legs and blank lifeless faces under rabbit face masks. On top of their heads are two large rabbit ears. They're creatures that I don't want to mess with.

It gestures to its companions and they proceed to walk around the venue. Each creature seemed to have a particular spot to be in, one at each entrance/exit.
One creature whistles and time returns to normal. It's pretty much every person for them self now. I look around to see my boyfriend running at me. I grab his hand and run too. I run as fast as my legs can take me and we end up doing a big loop and ending where we started. Everybody escapes except us. "SHIT WHAT NOW?!" I yell as the creatures start moving toward us. They're going to kidnap us and they're  going to kill us. Creatures like that don't just show up and try to be friends. I was scared and I felt helpless. I held onto my boyfriend as tightly as I could hoping that the creatures would take me instead of him. He doesn't deserve to die. He's done too much good in his life for this to be the end. Then I feel a sharp pain in my head. I start floating, at least that's what it feels like.

Seconds, minutes, hours, maybe even days later I wake up to see something, well... Different to what I expected. I didn't even stop to think that these creatures were good.
"Welcome to Wonderland" I hear a deep, echoey voice say.
