“It’s no use going back to yesterday, I was a different person then.” -Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland.

I still don’t understand what happened here, which side the rabbit guy is on or why Alice turned bad, but I know three things for sure: One, I’m in Wonderland. Two, I’m pretty much stuck here, and three, this place is going to go down in flames unless I do something about it. This Wonderland sure wasn’t the one I’d read about in the stories, but it sure did need help and I’m pretty sure they think I’m the girl for the job.

Rebecca Lewis is pretty much your ordinary fifteen-year-old. Goes to school, shy, has a father... Blah, blah, blah, the usual.
Well, she was normal until she got a phone call during school to give her some terrible news. After that she went running off alone into the forest.
Becka's about to fall down a rabbit hole, but this time it isn't a dream.

I have based a lot of my characters on the classic story Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. If you are offended at all in the way I have portrayed them, let me know. Many thanks, may97531.
