Alice in Wonderland
Memories
Her name was Alice, or at least that’s what she believed, though she couldn’t be sure of anything, as the memories inside her head were all askew. This would be Alice’s fifth visit to the memory pawn shop; and with each new memory, the line between reality and illusion began to blur.
Alice had always felt she lacked any real imagination of her own, so the memories she purchased were those from the minds of great imagination, who could conjure up the most fantastical adventures and stories simply by thinking them.
At first, all seemed wonderful, Alice could recall the most amazing images within her mind. Landscapes painted in fluorescent hues, mythical creatures roaming the streets, fairies flitting to and fro, flowers and butterflies greeting her good morning. Everything was so real, so mesmerizing, she could almost touch the memories and would lie in bed for hours blissfully remembering.
Lately, however, Alice noticed the memories were of a more disturbing nature; visions of roses the color of blood and curious playing cards shaped as royal guards began to plague her mind.
She also found it difficult to stay focused, for her thoughts wandered aimlessly, and even more upsetting, was the annoying rabbit relentlessly reminding her time was of the essence.; for what she could not imagine, recently he had brought along a new friend, she called herself… the Red Queen.
Alice sure hoped her new memories would make the rabbit and the red queen disappear, for she feared if not-she might just lose her head…
