The One Hundred
"Why are we here? What do you want with us?" The Creator peered curiously into the glass globe infront of her, a benevolent presence in an otherwise bewildering situation. It was her world and she was its ruler. Like a mad professor in a lab., she could observe and analyse and alter and remove if she liked as she was the controller of the Globe and everything that lay therein.

What if Alice didn’t leave the wonderland?
If Alice had chosen to stay in Wonderland, the story might have unfolded quite differently. Without the urgency to return home, Alice could have delved deeper into the peculiar world, uncovering more of its mysteries and perhaps even taking on a role within its hierarchy. She might have become a champion for the peculiar inhabitants against the whims of the Queen of Hearts, or even found a way to bridge the gap between her world and Wonderland.
