It’s a bit of a late start for the day, but that’s all right. I’m well past my target of finishing two novels for the month and am now working on a third. And, technically speaking, I passed another one of those resolutions I was working towards too. I said I wanted to write 10 shorts. I’ve written 8 and a second novel on top of my initial Nanowrimo novel. I think that counts as two more shorts. Just got to get something published by the end of December and I’ll have done it all!
Also, is that banner for this post not completely creepy?
From Chapter 2
When she was positive that only Dinah was in her room, not bothering to wake up at the moment and perfectly content to continue napping on the bed despite the light being on, Alice went in and to her washroom.
The image of the Mad Hatter’s table was still there, slowly covering in snow. It wasn’t as sharp as it had been when it was there earlier, though, Alice noted, and the Dormouse didn’t seem to be there at all anymore. Perhaps he’d slipped entirely into the teapot all together and gotten quite a bath, if there was anything in the teapot at all after all the cups had been filled. The broken clock still lingered there, not doing anyone much good and the vines shivered and slunk off of the tables and to somewhere a bit warmer.
There were prints in the snow, though, that had Alice a little more worried. The scene was fading faster and faster now and she leaned in to get a better look when a purple face popped into view. Alice jumped back as the Cheshire Cat pressed his face right up against the glass like he was trying to get through.
Alice jumped back at that as the image faded away entirely, but she was fairly certain that she saw the Cheshire Cat grin and wave at her as Wonderland left the mirror all together. She really wasn’t sure what to make of that, instead opting to take it as another scare for the day to remind her that Christmas really was a time better spent with your family than wondering about possibly not so distant worlds going through trouble.
(A/N: Wait a minute…)
