Imagine getting a cat from an animal shelter and deciding to pick the very sweet and gentle one who hasn't made a single sound the whole time you're there, and being told "yeah she doesn't meow like other cats do", and then when you say "oh it's ok, I don't mind a cat who isn't very vocal!" the shelter's people look at you like they're about to say something but decide against it.

And then you bring your kitty home and the first time she wants your attention, she opens her mouth and the sound that comes out is a low, soothing but abnormally long continuous tune that you can only describe as something between mongolian throat singing and a didgeridoo.

This is the first chapter of Ralice and the Wonder Circus.

Hope you will enjoy !

___________________________

Ralice was leaning against a tree, looking out at nature. She was looking for inspiration for a new painting. She had already done quite a bit and she knew her way around it now. Only, she now wanted to take on bigger painting. She came here very often, on the hill that she knew so well, always observing in detail this good old century-old tree. It always worked to find even a modicum of inspiration, but today nothing was coming. She felt gloomy and nothing really interested her. She told herself that starting this project would bring relief to her heart, but she felt stuck. She stood there, thinking of nothing, until a noise emanating from the nearby bushes brought her out of her thoughts. A tiny voice was heard among the bushes.

《Oh no, oh no no no! I will be late ! I'm going to be late, I'm going to be late! 》

Ralice stood up, curious. She moved closer to the bush, wanting to hear what the voice was saying. But she couldn't hear anything because an individual in a red and blue costume came running out of the bush. The little person bumped against Ralice's leg, then got up before saying:

《I'm sorry ! I'm sorry ! Sorry, big Lady, I need to go! I will be late! I need to go ! NOW !》

This mysterious girl almost shouted that last word. Because yes, it was actually a girl who was apparently very stressed about being late. Ralice was particularly intrigued by this girl who was in too much of a hurry so she called her:

《Hey ! Little girl !

- Huh ? She stopped suddenly and turned around. I’m not a little girl !

- Sorry! But where did you go?

- Somewhere! Now, leave me alone!

- But where is ”somewhere” ?

- Not now big Lady, I need to go! I'll be late! 》

Ralice tried to call her, but she wouldn't hear anything. Ralice therefore decides to follow her, too curious to stop there. She saw the girl in the suit run into more bushes, just in front of a dense forest. She followed her as best she could through the bushes, only to realize that she had passed behind the first rows of trees in the forest. This same forest was very dark, and Ralice could not see well. Fortunately, the strange girl only kept repeating “Now I’m late!” Oh no, oh no!” and she could therefore continue to follow her.

The girl suddenly disappeared behind a tree. Ralice tried to find where she went, but instead found a large clearing where a marquee stood.

《A circus ? She thought.》

She looked around before glancing suspiciously at the circus. This really seemed like the only place this weird girl could have disappeared to. She hesitated for another moment, then lifted the tarpaulin that leads to the marquee to finally slip inside. Ralice is then in a corridor. She looked around, and decided that coming here was not a good idea. Furniture hung from the ceiling and walls, defying gravity. Branches (or roots?) were sticking out of the ground and wooden walls. A long, worn red carpet ran down the hallway. Ralice was confused and wanted to leave but when she turned around, a wall was facing her. Although she didn't really understand how it was possible, she told herself that the only possible path now was the corridor. She didn't really want to go, but something was pushing her forward. So she moved forward, in this bizarre circus, in the middle of a forest, in a corridor of which she could not even see the end.

《How can such a long corridor fit under the big top of a circus ? And above all… Why is there a corridor in a circus ? She asked herself.》

She thought about the fact that she could be in a dream, which made it all make sense. So, now convinced that she was in one of the strange dreams she has been having these days, she continued on her way.

Ralice quickly realized that random objects were also part of the decor. She found a ribbon here, a cane there, a key (which she kept carefully), a pocket watch, a-

《AAAAAAAAAAH! A centipede!》

Very frightened by these creatures, she ran further before calming down and resuming her route in this corridor which seemed infinite to her. A little later, she came across a chess piece displayed on a dresser. Very fond of chess, she put it warm in her apron, with the key.

She walked for another 10 or 15 minutes before hitting a wall. Wall which was completely normal, if we excluded the fact that it was made of stone slabs and that it stood out in the middle of all this wood. Ralice really didn't know what to do in this stage of the dream and said to herself that perhaps there was something in the furniture she had passed along the way. She searched in a cupboard, without result. She tried the first drawer of a dresser, nothing, the second, still nothing, the third… what? There was a small piece of paper on which it was written : 《Walk on the wall》accompanied by a small arrow in the direction of the wall. So, Ralice decided to play the game. She decided to lie down with her feet against the wall, then moved forward and walked. She then understood that the wall was in fact a floor, which explained the stone slabs. A small round table faced him, but Ralice wasn't paying attention to it for the moment :

《If I'm on the ground now, does that mean I've been falling since earlier? she wondered. It's just a dream anyway. I need to stop asking myself these kinds of questions.》

She came out of her dreams and now looked at the table in front of her. A small cookie was there, icing forming the words "Eat me", accompanied by a glass filled with a purple liquid, with a label stuck on it saying "Drink me". There was also a key on the table,which looked old and was starting to rust. Ralice paid no attention to it, intrigued by the cookie and the strange drink. Ralice didn't have to wonder which one to choose, because this strange material inside the glass seemed strange to her. But she was suddenly extremely thirsty, so she reconsidered and took a small sip of the purple liquid. She let out a cry of exclamation when she realized that she was shrinking at full speed. She was now too small to reach the items on the table. She tried to climb, but quickly realized that it would be no use. She then looked around the room and found 5 doors. One of them had no handle. Another was so gigantic that the door frame protruded above the ceiling. The 3rd door was actually painted on the wall, and the 4th… had disappeared.

《I'm sure I've seen her somewhere! Wait...did I see that door twice?...It doesn't matter. Get back on your way.》

And the 5th door then? She was very small, as small as Ralice. The latter had the feeling that the key opened this door. Only, here it is : She is the size of a 3 year old child and is incapable of reaching the famous key. Ralice therefore thought about this problem for 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 15 minutes… before having the brilliant idea of ​​overturning the table to access the objects placed on it. She pushed all her weight against the single leg of the table and managed to gain access to the key. But the key was too big to open the little door, and Ralice hadn't thought about it. The old object then began to speak, leaving Alice speechless.

《It's not possible! Are you going to wait much longer to use me? I'm bored! Come on, take me to the potion, just to find a suitable size!

- …What ?-

- The potion! Come on ! Hurry up !

-Um… I…

- I promise, young people these days! They don't do anything anymore! You know what, if you don't do it, I'll do it myself!》

Ralice watched as the key ring separated into two small arms. Using those same arms, she moved to the purple drink now fallen to the ground. She took a sip and shrank, now able to fit in Ralice's hand as well as open the small door. Ralice unlocked the door. Carefully, she turned the handle and opened the door. It overlooked a panoramic view of a forest. The key, still in the lock and apparently dismayed by Ralice's (yet correct) attitude, said to her:

《Are you planning to stay there admiring the view or what? Go ahead !

- So, no question! Don't even try to convince me! I will not follow the orders of a talking key! Ralice replied, quickly getting used to the idea that a key could talk. It was a dream, after all.

- You rude little thing! You'll see what happens when you don't respect your elders!》

The old key opened its arms a second time and grabbed Ralice before throwing her into the void. She screamed and suddenly everything went black.

She had fainted.
