Wonderland

Dangerous animals pounce out of a plasma screen. Why would they not? Every watching eye is a jungle path, into a perilous land. Predators know their true environment. Does a painted jungle deity, a lesser god, masked as a man, sit astride upon a carved log, while hunted virtual humans hide and seek, within a computer game he is endlessly absorbed within? Where is Alice, his woman? Does she stalk dinosaurs, chase tigers through, a maze of rabbit holes? Only to bring them back bundled upon her shoulders - all those runaway children. Is she the only one, free to run, while we upload our minds in a wilderness place, waiting our turn to survive for another night, or be skinned and deleted?
