Alicia Baker was going for her regular Sunday morning run into the river valley when she came upon a large white rabbit sitting still. The rabbit turned to look at her and stared at Alicia as he wiggled his nose. It was then she noticed a pocket watch clipped to his fur and if she was really honest, Alicia would tell you she thought the rabbit was inclining his head at her as if he wanted her to follow him. But Alicia would never admit to such imaginary notions.
She picked up speed in her Lululemon running pants and top and started to run away from the rabbit. All was well until she stumbled onto a large hole in the ground. She stood at the prepice of the hole when that strange white rabbit with his pocket watch stood up and pushed her in the hole.
Memories assaulted Alicia as she fell forever ending up in a familiar place she couldn’t quite identify. She saw the white rabbit again and angrily cried, “Wait.” But the rabbit kept pace ahead of her and as she followed it she heard a dreaded voice, a voice she hoped to never hear again.
” Whose been painting my roses red?”
Alicia now fully aware where she had fallen to, imagined roasting a rabbit over a spit. She ran her hands through her blond hair in frustration and remembering it was her unbirthday stomped off in search of a Mad Hatter, in need of cakes and tea. She’d done it again, she’d fallen into Wonderland.

Hey, nice to meet you. I'm a Canadian girl who loves the local sports scene. The NHL and CFL are my regular sports domains but I've been getting into the NFL games.
Go Oilers! Excited for our Stanley Cup contenders last year. Their soon to be champions in the following seasons (knock on wood!). Pleased with the Eskimo's winning, they're in a slump but there's time. My dream of the moment is to see the Oilers play the new Las Vegas team!
I also enjoy Hatha yoga, short walks in the river valley, drawing with pencil and charcoal, makeup and hairstyles, the whole beauty niche: as well, short seminars, TED Talks, and podcasts on a variety of subjects -- but especially creative writing, art, and humorous lifestyle.
I love dogs but I can't have one right now but I enjoy hanging out with friends and family whenever I'm able. I like summer and fall when the weathers warm and there are many festivals. Lots of activities to do and places in the city to explore.
I'm a writing fanatic. I'm slowly editing a novel, check me out on Wattpad @mandibelle16. The novel is called 'How Was Last Night?' by A.M. Wilson and is a paranormal romance. I haven't had much time to work on it in months but hopefully in Fall?
On my blog I take part in flash fiction challenges, short stories, poetry, and nonfiction pieces. Nonfiction writing includes blogger/writer interviews, current events, quotes, entertainment, fashion, interior design, and beauty. Sometimes I share about my life.
Check out my published poetry and short fiction on www.spillwords.com, Silver Bell Press Online, SickLitMagazine.com., and herheartpoetry.com on Instagram.
Happy to meet you, browse as long as you like! If you have any questions or suggestions you can get ahold of me through my blog Contact Page up too! If you want to be interviewed as a writer/blogger send me a message :)

It’s just one of my favorite books, funny cause I hated the movie as a kid. But in my children’s literature class I thought it was so interesting.

At least she’s dressed in practical gear for running away from the Queen of Hearts.

“I’m not going … I’m not going … I’m not going … dammit” I love how her trying to avoid it was what brought her back. Great story Amanda
