INT. HALL OF DOORS - UNDERGROUND

A long, low hall under hanging lamps. Doors on every side, every one locked. ALICE (7), dust on her pinafore, kneels at a door no higher than her knee.

Through it: sunlight, flowerbeds, a fountain. She pushes her head at the opening. Not even that fits.

She locks the door and lays the tiny golden key back on the glass table. Beside it stands a little bottle that was not there before.

A paper label, tied round its neck: DRINK ME.

ALICE

It doesn’t say poison. I looked.

She drinks. The hall grows. The table legs rise past her like pillars of glass.

Ten inches tall, she runs for the little door. Stops. Turns.

Through the tabletop, far above her: the golden key, exactly where she left it.

She grips a table leg and climbs. Slides. Climbs. Slides.

Scene plan Before a word is written, the scene’s purpose is agreed. By you.

Scene plan

The key out of reach

Enters: She has found the garden and cannot fit through its door.
Moves: A bottle offers the size she needs. She checks it for poison, and drinks.
Pressure peaks: The door is finally her size. The key is not.
Leaves: She can fit through the door. She can no longer open it.

Characters What the story knows about them, and what is still only a possibility.

Alice

Characters

Wants: To get into the loveliest garden she has ever seen.
Fears: Changing so often she no longer knows who she is.
Contradiction: Gives herself very good advice. Very seldom follows it.

She is careful about all the wrong things.

A possibility

Story Space Where it began: your own words, kept with the night you said them.

Your words, 22 May, 4.05 pm

“She checks the bottle for poison, because the books told her to, and then walks off without the key. She isn’t careless. She’s careful about the wrong things, the way a seven-year-old is. That’s her, all the way down.”

Still open Kept in Story Space with the conversation it came from.
