It is time for the trial as Sarah is trying desperately to save Carien from this mad park.  But the line between reality and insanity is quickly vanishing and will she be able to escape before she is lost to this Wonderland forever?

Sarah gulped.  “Fine, fine.”  She grasped the golden door handle.  “I don’t want to lose my head.”  She then slowly pushed the massive doorway open, the golden hinges creaking as it inched forward.  On the other side of the gate stood an enormous courtroom filled will strange-looking people. To her left was a jury box filled with an assortment of bipedal animals in tiny outfits holding small note pads and to her right, a bench with only a few people sitting.  Sarah narrowed her eyes as she recognized those sitting there.

              “You have got to be kidding me.  What is Gregory doing here, and why is he dressed up as the Mad Hatter?”

              Sarah felt one of the guards press into her from behind.  “Move over to the bench with the others.”

              “Ok, ok.”  She shook her head.  “You can ask nicely.”  She quickly walked over and sat down next to Gregory.

              “So, how did you end up here?”

              “Do you want some tea, miss?”

              “Umm, no?”  Sarah shook her head.  “Gregory, I just want to know why in the world. . .”  She narrowed her eyes as he dipped a pocket watch into a teacup. “Umm, never mind.”  She looked down and put her hands into her dress.  “I wish I knew just what was going on here. Everyone else is going crazy.”

              She raised her head as the playing card guards raised trumpets and played them all at once.  She then spotted her friend Carien, who now looked like a human white rabbit.  Sarah took a deep breath as her friend hopped up towards the center of the room.  “Keep it together.  You will find a way out of this for both you and Carien.  Just need more time.”  Sarah sighed.
