The Abnormally Sweet Sugary Gumdrop
'Mikealis...?' Alice repeated as she watch the young boy claim his own bed. Mikealis wore a smile that gave Alice a sense of ease. He seemed kind. Still backed into the corner like a small defenceless creature, Alice continued to tug of her ears. Soon after, the young boy asked boy asked Alice a simple question. Alice pause.
'Where... did i... come from....?' She repeated slowly, inclining her head as she briefly reflected upon his question.
A young man stood in fear as he discovered a tomb hidden on an uncharted island. But it wasn't the tomb that man the man's courage falter, but was inscribed on it. Upon its void black surface, many elaborate and outlandish symbols were scrawled on it. The man's eyes studies studied the etching, tracing the various lines and curves. However, a migraine slowly set in as corner of his vision slowly faded to black. There was a moment of silence. No wind. No waves. No breaths. Suddenly, his sight found him and sound of his environment returned; but something was out of place. The rocky surface beneath his feet was no more; what took its place was a dull red quagmire littered with small bones from various critters. The wall that the man had rested his hand upon was now something organic in nature. As he removed his hand, the wall undulated as if it were breathing. The man tried to assess what was happening, headache growing more painful. As the man faced the doors of the tomb, a fiendish grin fell upon his face. The man fled with all his might, feeling the last of his rational thoughts slipping away. He didn't know if what he had just witness was real... or just all in his mind

'Honey can you get the door? i think someone is there.' Alice's mother called
'Okay mother!' Alice responded, imaging her way to the door.
She pulled the door open and she spots a small man. From the look of his atire he was an explorer. Alice smiled at the nice looking man. However, the man laughed at her and fled.
'Oh... Mother, he is leaving?' Alice called.
'I came from an island.' Alice replied to Mikealis. Soon after, a second question asked.
'Well...' Alice said, pondering, 'I don't really know... Mother always said that were like fish so... wait... Am I a fish?! but if that means I need water to breath... But i don't!' Alice began rambling about her own existence, causing her head to grow hot from over working. Giving up, she gave up.
'I'm a fish...' Alice shrugged exhaustedly.
'Where... did i... come from....?' She repeated slowly, inclining her head as she briefly reflected upon his question.
