Alice Sleeps Beside a Brook

Alice dipped her fingers into the water, grazing the top. The brook was mesmerizing. She watched minnows and bugs. They skittered across the top, too minute to identify. A slight breeze lulled her into a deep slumber; her breathing slowed. The world underneath the water came to life in her dreams. She understood wonderland better now, and she wanted more. If we could have found the “eat me” key, we would have returned her.
