Wonderland

The Voices started when I was thirteen.
And that's how it's been throughout my whole family.
My mother, Liss. My grandmother, Alena. My great-grandmother, Allison. My great-great grandmother Alice.
Isn't daughter like mother.

Mother went to the asylum at twenty-five.
And that's how it's been throughout my family.
My grandmother, Alena. My great-grandmother, Allison. My great-great grandmother Alice.
Isn't daughter like mother.

But Alice went down the rabbit hole.
That hasn't run throughout the family.
Not my mother Liss. Not my grandmother Alena. Not my great-grandmother Allison.

I am Alice, named after my great-great grandmother. The woman who inspired Lewis Carroll. The woman who started the bloodline threads of insanity.
Isn't daughter like great-great grandmother.

But I'm not Alice, and that place is not Wonderland.
