All things considered, Alice supposed that she was the unluckiest girl on the planet. Having lost first her parents, and then their pensions and life insurance policies, to the unscrupulous owners of the Smilex Toothpaste factory, she was now caught in a blizzard without a feasible means to return home.
Alice trudged forward, head down against the wind. A tall, dark wall loomed to her right, and she moved towards it in hope there would be a small buffer from the wind. Blinded by the storm, the only thing she could do was keep moving forward.
A break in the wall threw her off guard momentarily. As Alice faltered, she was startled by a great pink shape looming up out of the storm. The shock was too much on her numb body, and she collapsed into the deepening drifts.
The world came together again being warm and soft and smelling of marshmallows. Alice tried to make sense of her situation, but somehow the pieces wouldn’t fit together. Her wet, cold clothes were gone and in their place was a luxurious bathrobe. She was no longer lying on a snow bank, although her bed was just as white, and just as soft. Her hair was no longer frozen to her neck, but wrapped in the fluffiest towel Alice had ever touched. Her hands and feet were no longer numb, but being thoroughly chaffed by . . . little tiny people. Alice’s brain attempted to reboot itself as four tiny women stood around her and protected her from frostbite. All of them looked quite pleased now that she was awake, although they didn’t say a word.
Silently, a fifth little woman appeared, brandishing a thermometer authoritatively. Since she couldn’t think of a better plan, Alice obediently opened her mouth. The mini-nurse popped in the glass thermometer and checked the time on a mini-watch. After a few, silent minutes, the thermometer was removed and the nurse smiled. All four caretakers stood in a row beside Alice on the bed, expectantly. They regarded her in silence and seemed to be waiting for her to say something.
“Oh, um, thank you. I do feel very much better.” The tiny ladies all smiled and, crossing their arms over their chests, made a funny little bend at the waist. Alice was baffled, but attempted to return the gesture.
“I’m glad. It did seem touch and go there for a while,” A man’s voice, high pitched and giggly, came ringing out of the darkness beyond the bed. Alice started up franticly while the mini-nurses tired to calm her.
“Who’s there? Where am I?” A figure strode towards her out the dimness, tall and slender. Violet eyes burned in the shadows.
“I. And here.” The comment was punctuated with another small giggle. “But how rude of me. I brought you some hot chocolate to warm you.” Two of the tiny women were moving towards her, a large mug of steaming chocolate carried between them on a plate. They smiled and pointed at it and made themselves so thoroughly endearing that Alice couldn’t resist the beverage. She lifted the mug to her lips and, despite the temperature, drank deeply.
Instantly, she began to feel dizzy. The drink spun in her stomach, bringing with it lethargy and lightheadedness. She sagged onto the pillows. A sudden weight on the mattress next to her drew her attention.
A pale, angular man perched next to her, wearing a velvet frock coat and a tall top hat. He also seemed to wearing purple latex gloves; Alice could hear them creaking as he flexed his fingers.
“Perhaps I should clarify. I am Willie Wonka, and you are a guest in my factory. The Oompa-Loompas,” he gestured to the 5 little nursemaids, who had by this time moved off of the bed itself and were standing in cluster, their eyes peeping over the edge of the mattress.
“The Oompa-Loompas found you in the snow, half-frozen. They hate the cold, you know, and were quite horrified when they discovered an Alice-cicle in the courtyard.”
Alice squinted at him. “How do you know my name?” she slurred.
Wonka cocked his head to the left. “Hmm? Sorry, I’m a bit deaf in this ear; you’ll have to speak up.” Without giving her a chance to do so, he plunged on. “They brought you inside, begging to take care of you. And who was I to refuse? After all, I think you’ll be useful.” Alice was about to ask him what he meant by ‘useful’ when he leaned in and kissed her hard on the mouth. She whimpered as her pressed her back against the pillows. Her arms were weak, pushing vaguely against his shoulders. Somehow, the mug had disappeared.
His body pulled back from hers and she felt breathless, her heart racing, her head swimming. “What have you done to me?”
“Nothing. At least, not yet.” There was a great flash of light and Willie Wonka was gone. The Oompa-whatvevers were gone too. Alice was alone, in a giant marshmallow bed in a vast chocolate bedroom. The dizziness overcame her and she quietly passed out.
