Alice in her animal panic thrashes around the bar before her and the others stampede out into the night air.

After running off into the night like the others, Alice was captured and corralled into a warehouse pen by the dockworkers. Terrified Alice waited a single girl in a herd of victims while one by one each donkey was brought out of the corral, striped, then sorted into crates. Alice remembered those crates, she remembered those were the crates she was told to unload if she wanted to go home, but instead she chose to have fun. Each crate had a label on it but she could no longer read what they said, it all looked like scribbles to her.

Eventually it was her turn and try as she did to run; she was quickly and painfully dragged out by her ears. Once they had a good grip the dock worker heaved her in front of a familiar face. It was the Man in the Red Coach Jacket, but he was different. He no longer had that jolly grandfather expression on his face but instead a deviant look in his eyes as he stared down on Alice.

Too afraid to do anything all the little donkey did was shiver in front of the Coachman. The large man bent over coming down to her level to look the blue dress donkey in the eyes to do his favorite part of his job, gingerly asking the question that he has done to all donkeys prior.

“And what’s your name, little miss?”



The words were said to Alice clear as day but she was almost completely at a loss as what he said, not only was she not able to read but she wasn’t even able to understand English anymore. She almost understood one word, but she struggled to remember what it meant. Her mind raced as she saw a smug grin begin to spread across the Coachman’s face.

Then it came to her. NAME, HE SAID NAME!

If I can say my name maybe he will turn me back.

It was a desperate hope but it was all that Alice had left. She opened her snout as she focused on manipulate her foreign donkey muzzle into a shape to pronounce words. The coachman leaned in in anticipation of what she would say with a fully cracked smile.
