Story Planning: What if Alice Never Fell?


Welcome to Wonderland

What if Alice had never followed the rabbit with the red eyes into the hole where all of the chaos began?
-------------------------------------------------------------
Who would the caterpillar give his knowledge to?
Who would the queen invite to her game?
Would that whole world stop or just keep on going in its chaotic ways?
Would they freeze or continue in their actions aimlessly?
What if Alice’s sister had fallen into the hole with her? What if she had fallen instead?

All of these are different angles I could discuss in an upcoming story. Thus, why I am doing a story planning instead of writing one. I think it is so interesting to think about how much one little change or difference could change the entire outcome of the story.

Personally, I can picture the entire world frozen, almost like a dream that never happens. That being said, I can also see the queen trying to execute the caterpillar for playing the game with all of his many legs while also smoking his hookah at the same time.

If Alice’s sister was intolerant, she could have messed up the world, ended up almost dying, and Alice end up coming in and saving her from the queen. On the other hand, what if her sister and the Queen of Hearts had become best friends and decided to rule this obscure world together, creating more mind games and chaos together? She could decide she never wants to leave, and Alice in the real world, being the practical girl she is, could never be willing to jump down the hole to search for her because she believes that her sister “realistically” could never get lost in a hole or simply fall into one that appears so small.

I would love to end up writing this story next week but I need more time to outline it!
