Fragment in Time

“Tic toc, Tic toc” the big white rabbit chanted, “half past three time for tea!” Alice looked down, sure enough it was half past three. She gave the watch back to the rabbit and followed him to the table. “More tea ticker”, she said and poured the strong brown liquid in to the large round cup on the out-sized saucer. The liquid swirled her head around with it and she formed in to the sides of the cup - stuck, white, unmovable and hot. The liquid pressed its sides against her, it oppressed her, she tried to concentrate on her free sides, air ridden, cooler, but drawn ever inward to the deep, deep heat sending cracks in to her sides. She vibrated and fragmented through half past three and never came back.
