Default Alice in warmerland

Alice was getting tired of sitting on the river bank with nothing to do.
Once or twice she looked at her sister’s books. But she was not in the
mood for The Young Person’s Guide to Reducing Your Carbon Footprint.
Changing Your Behaviour to Save the Planet did not excite her either,
especially on a hot summer’s day. There were too many funny diagrams and
silly numbers inside. “Why is Charlotte so interested in them?” wondered
Alice.

The humid weather made her feel sleepy and stupid. She used to make
daisy chains, but daisies were no longer her thing. Was that a bird or a
ringtone? Perhaps she had a message? She took a mobile phone from her
backpack and was just about to check, when a White Rabbit with pink eyes
suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

The Rabbit pulled a pocket watch out of his green fluoro-jacket. “We’ll
be too late!” he said. “Time’s running out. It’s getting hotter!” He
stopped near them and looked directly at Alice. Tapping his watch and
waving what appeared to be a thermometer, he warned: “Beware Bozone!”
How very remarkable.
