This week Julia at http://jfb57.wordpress.com/ says,
‘Now for this week’s prompt. As you know I like to be topical so I’m thinking Easter. However, I’m thinking a little outside the box! The prompt is quite simple but the trick this week is to prepare for NEXT week!
I want you to write a piece with
….‘What was the rabbit late for,’ wondered Alice…..
in it. You have 100 words making a total of 108. However, the last 10 words are going to be used to start a piece by someone else next week!! Good eh! The idea isn’t mine – it came from Winchester House School‘
And so here are my 100+8 words plus some photos because I just happen to have them!
Alice knew she was named after THAT Alice and she hated it. Her mother would read it to her at bedtime, and she would drift away dreaming about Pippi Longstocking instead. If only she had been named Pippi, how adventurous she would have been! But no, she was dull Alice with beige hair, and her cousin’s old clothes.
And now, we’re reading it again, all through double English. And her form mistress was asking silly questions about Wonderland. What was the rabbit late for . . . wondered Alice. March Hatters, uh. . . mad hair? grinning cats? Oh no, Mrs Skinner is looking straight at me. 
Lucid Gypsy 
Hee Hee!
I think I’m going to be for it with teacher!
Pippi in Wonderland! Now, THAT would be a story!
Actually I confess – I can’t remember either very well !
Hi Gilly. This is very good! I think I would rather be Pippi too 🙂 How does the 100 Word Challenge for Grown Ups works? Is it like a club or something?
Hi Anette and tanks for visiting. No, It’s not a club its for everyone, do join in! click on the link to Julia’s and it will all make sense 🙂
Thank you so much Gilly 🙂
Good one, Gilly! Gosh, I’d be in a panic if I was given a writing prompt! Too much like school! 😉
You did a great job…and with photos too.
Nonsense Judy hop on over to Julia’s and give it a go!
Alice and Pippi! Wow! Great Job!
I love the twist. NO matter what your life is like, some other kid has a better one. And then there is no way of getting away from what you hate the most! What’s not to LOVE. Fabulous.
a fun story, and now we are all wondering, was is the Mad Hatter’s tea party? …. and what will happen to current-day Alice next?
Love it…and I used to love Pippi Longstocking when I was a kid.
That’s hilarious!
Love it Gilly…you are so ‘out of the box’ with your mind…no wonder we connected…hehehe
That means you were probably always in trouble too then! I remember one of my first managers saying I was insubordinate 🙂 🙂 🙂
And the queen said, “Off to detention, Gilly!” 😉
That would be right, the place most likely for finding a Gee!
Such a creative use of the prompt, I love it. And especially that this girl, named after Alice, only wanted to be Pippi – and now she’s got caught out in class. Great last line, lots of possibilities!
Here is miine, if you have time:

Really good, Gilly. Are your photos from a theme park of some kind?
I don’t know how you do it , Gilly. This was fabulous. I wish I could do it in so few words. I need more space. It was quite intriguing. Keep it up.
Hope you’ll get to read my new 1200 story coming out April 1st. It’s a cliff hanger. ~~~~ : – )
Hugs,
Izzy xoxo
Another goo one Gilly! You are really good at this!
Gilly, I can absolutely empathise with Alice’s thoughts on her name. Who hasn’t hated their name, at one point or another? Such petulant emotion from this girl, in just those few lines! Nice hook, too – I can think of many ways the next author can round-robin it!
That will teach you! 😉
I love this & I’m sure it rings bells with all the Alices out there. I’m really looking forward to seeing where it is taken next week!
I just watched the movie, Alice in Wonderland with Johnny Depp, on my computer and enjoyed it thoroughly. 😉
Some of the movie was filmed there at Antony, hence there were odd pieces of film set around!
Like this a lot. Funny how so many people hate their names isn’t it. Sorry I missed this one last week, but have just seen the follow up post and wanted to see what had come first.Not disappointed :O)
Bless you Anna, but you have nothing to be sorry for 🙂
I can’t find an about page on your blog but I wanted to say that your writing is very good and perhaps you could try to believe in yourself a bit more! 🙂
