Mad Alice (The Write Awards 2013)

This is a story about a boy named Ben.

His is a simple story, and perhaps it's been told before. But his isn't the only one, for after his push through the looking glass he comes across many other, more unconventional tales than his own. Such as a kittish young man with a smile longer than his life and the queen who rules over a land of ash in a palace painted with blood. A vagabond fairy travelling to the dimension betwixt heaven and hell and a Georgia Peach who was whisked away to a decaying wonderland from a county fair back in '68.

But in the end, it's still Ben's story.

It's about a boy.

A girl.

And just a bit of madness.
