{From "The Alice Theory"}
"You're the girl who will find The Looking Glass." The short woman said, peering at me, through her small black oval glasses.
Looking glass... I recognized that word, but I couldn't place where it was from.
The short woman continued.
"You will meet everyone Alice Lindell met."
And there was that word. Alice. From Lewis Carol's book, "Alice in Wonderland".
"Rose, you are the next Alice."
"Are you messing with me?" I asked the woman. I didn't take childish tricks too well.
"No, dear. I wish I was, but I am reading from The Prophesy."
"The 'Prophesy'?" I asked aloud.
"Yes, dear." She showed me the paper she was reading from. She then continued reading.
"Rose Alisson Lewis is to be the part of The Alice Theory."
It's 1985 and Rose just wants to live in Phoenix. She wants to go to diners with her friends. She wants to kiss someone and forget everything. But when her father and she abruptly left town, she abandons her childhood home and friends for a new life in California. Living in a cheap motel, falling asleep in her new school, Rose wishes for a way out. When she follows a mysterious black cat outside, she leads on her path to find the truth about the Alice Theory.
