It was a strange night! There was a thick fog. The moon was barely visible behind the clouds, it was a blurry spot that allowed us to glimpse the terrifying shadows of some leafless trees, whose arched branches resembled long arms open to the sky, which in turn harassed the route.
I felt a very strong shiver, and suddenly, when I turned around, I had Alice's rabbit behind me. He was white, intelligent and really late and with his watch in his hands; I wanted to meet him personally and it was my big opportunity, I couldn't miss it. I was always a curious girl, I am today, and I will never stop being one. My many-mindedness, like Alice's, has been an inseparable part of my life, because I feel that my desire to achieve authenticity lies in it.
-Come down from there, he whispered in my ear, while he wanted to see the moon.
It was him… I noticed that, because I could see his long, pink ears stretching and shrinking in the dark space of the terrace. I had come to the kitchen to get some water, but there was something in the sky and I climbed up on a chair to look.
-Come down from there, he repeated from time to time, while I decided to look at the moon as it looked at me. And then I got down, but he was already walking through the garden and I was following him, like Alice, to see where he was going, only this time there was no hole.
-"My ears and whiskers, it's getting late!" he said as he slid down the green grass full of night dew.
It was his favorite phrase and mine too, since I read the story, when I was younger, because I have read it many times and each time it is a different reading.
-Look! You have to remember that tomorrow is your graduation, at 3:45 in the afternoon, and you can hurt yourself if you fall off that chair, and you don't want to miss that special day.
-God! -You keep reminding me of the times when I have a lot to do. But I pestered him, I walked through the garden behind his robust body covered in hair as white as the foam my mom uses to wash clothes. I have to chase him because he keeps going farther and farther away and I need to know why he does it.
-Come, please, don't go far away, I'm tired, -and he answered: -Go back to your bed and rest because tomorrow your friends are waiting for you and you shouldn't be late for anything in this world.
Then I remembered that it was my graduation and that I needed an accomplice for the dance; I knew that if he accompanied me, I would be the sensation of the whole school, the most told story of the moment. My mom had bought a beautiful white dress that matched her "furry suit"; It also had blue ribbons that intertwined at the bottom, just like Alice had in that story that I enjoyed so much, and for my hair a blue ribbon like hers too.
I approached again and this time, willing to do anything to reach him, because I needed to know more about him, I also wanted him to tell me about Alice; she was one of my favorite storybook characters and because she would be my companion tomorrow afternoon and I would convince him at all costs.
-Come here for a moment, - I approached as if I were going to give him a cup of tea like the ones the Mad Hatter and the Hare made.
-I want us to go to school together tomorrow, I want to introduce you to my friends.
-And why would I want to be introduced to your friends? - he answered.
Because more than half of the “storybook world” knows you, but I want the other half to know that you are you, Alice's fantastic companion.
-So! -he said, hesitating, -I will only go if you promise me that you will be a very good girl like Alice, or better, perhaps; and because I am caught between reality and fantasy, and only by doing a good deed like this, I will be able to return to the garden with my faithful companions from the story. -Yes, of course, she needs you, -I answered quickly.
-I have to explain to her that she cannot set limits; she has to be able to achieve what she wants and I will give her the strength she needs, I will jump with her the obstacles she finds on the way. "My God! My God!" -she exclaimed again and again.
To which I answered with certainty, -of course, we will go together, holding hands and singing, so that everyone knows that I will also jump with you the barriers that I have found in life and that I also live "in a wonderland."
So I asked, with a joyful tremor, in his ear, because I wanted to hear that answer from his rabbit-like mouth in a children's story:
-How long is forever? - and then he answered, just as he does: - “Sometimes, just a second”!
