Alice

Chapter four

The Caterpillar says "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step!" Alice then says "A single step off London Bridge could end my journey..." The Caterpillar says "Failure as your epitaph? I'd hoped you were more courageous!" Alice seems worried about him he is nice one minute but mean the next. The Caterpillar says "If I had the time, I'd detail how often you prefer dealing with illusions rather than the real thing. Problems you refuse to deal with don't exist! You deny reality!" Alice upset says "That's not right! I know what's real!" The Caterpillar "No! You allow others to tell you what isn't real." Alice says "My memories are shattered! Dr. Bumby has ruined nearly all I can recall and Wonderland will perish completely as I lose my mind. I can't help Wonderland if I can't help myself!" The Caterpillar says "He has brainwashed you, but you've got it backwards save Wonderland and you may save yourself! The Carpenter was on to something, but he was hiding from the real. Your goal is to accept it!" Alice the asks "Where should I go, then? What should I do?" The Caterpillar "The Queen must be served, Alice. The Queen, in all her guises, must always be served." Alice then asks "How can she stem this growing corruption or assist my search? What does she know that I don't?" The Caterpillar says "She is someone you once knew and loved. Time changes us all." Alice outraged says "Not all change is good!" The Caterpillar gets Mazda and says "Remember that when you find the Queen!" Alice is worried about this Queen. She starts walking but them stops and over hears.... "Sword and crown are worthless here,

I invite everyone to dance

Labourers, lawyers, church and gown all make their little prance.

This life is full of random death And heaps of grief and shame,

So few are soothed by 'accident' You want someone to blame.

Fire, plague or strange disease, Drowned, murdered or,

if you please, A long fall down the basement stairs

None are expected, no one cares.

I often must work very hard

Sweat running down my skin,

After the dance I then must rest And the eating can begin."

Alice then says "Hello? Who is that singing?" A very strange looking creature appears and says "I'm The Carpenter there is no method in this madness! Authority must be obeyed, or it must be overthrown! What you claim not to know is merely what you've denied. You've recaptured your vagrant memories. What are you doing with them?You shouldn't ask questions you know the answer to, it's not polite." The creature then runs off in the direction Alice came from. Alice then continues her journey to the Red Queen (Queen of Hearts) and to find the truth.
