As she backtracked what she thought had been a short drive, Naomi kept hearing things whispering and moving about in the brush to her right.

Even more worrisomely - she could hear her English prof telling her that wasn't a word - was the fact that the bridge, which, when she had begun walking was a brown square blur about a half a K away, now seemed to be retreating from her.

She stopped, and looked back for her car, only to find that it had disappeared.

When she turned back towards the bridge, it was no longer in sight and the road in that direction had narrowed to a muddy path.

When she dressed that morning, she'd known she was going to regret wearing sandals.

With both car and bridge no longer in sight, and no choice but to accept her footwear, the next decision was pick a direction, which she solved by flipping the quarter she found in her jeans pocket.

As the coin spun in the air, she realized that it no longer showed Queen Elizabeth on one side and a moose on the other, but now featured a curious glyph and a portrait of a stern-looking king with pointy ears.

"What have you gotten yourself into?" Naomi asked herself aloud as the coin landed portrait side up and it grinned evilly at her.

"Why whatever mischief happens to those who go down the rabbit hole, through the looking glass,over the rainbow just be careful for what you wish." came a voice from the bushes, making Naomi jump as she had not expected an answer to her rhetorical question.

A short dumpy woman stepped out from the shubbery and smiled merrily at Naomi.

Naomi couldn't say who or what she had expected to step out into her view, a white rabbit, a dormouse carrying his teapot, a Mad Hatter but not a Disneyesque Fairy Godmother who was busily pulling twigs from her hair.

"Who are you?" she asked.

The woman smiled, showing pointy teeth.

Whoa!!! Naomi had always thought of herself as a survivor and now she turned heel and despite those stupid fashion choice sandals dug her toes in and sprinted away from the small woman as fast as she could.

"Head her off!" the woman shouted behind her.
