Fantasy

Every Sunday I wake up early and make my whole family pancakes. You have to take out the eggs and the milk and the Bisquick. Throw in 2 eggs a cup of milk and some Bisquick and begin whisking. Oh, right your dad eats 7 pancakes so make that a double batch actually. Okay now throw in the chocolate chips and bananas. Cook till brown. Delish. I began stacking up my wonderful mouth-watering creations. Of course, I had to sit and suffer while looking at them waiting for everyone to slowly rise up out of bed and congratulate me on my weekly accomplishment. Making pancakes is what kept me the favorite I am truly convinced. 

It was weird though. When I went to poor in more Bisquick to make the double batch it suddenly felt empty. I hadn’t before so I was thoroughly confused as to why it did now. Like any sane person would do I stuck my eye right in there and looked around. Suddenly I was engulfed in Bisquick as I realized that I had defied gravity and the universe and possibly god himself and I had fallen through the Bisquick opening. Immediately I was worried because it was dark and sandy here. I mean sandy too not like Bisquick sand it was actual legitimate sand. Was I in the desert. As I looked around I suddenly realized that the opening I’d fallen through was gone and I was staring at a star-filled sky in what looked like the middle of the Sahara desert. I say that because that’s the only desert name I know of.

As I walked in search of water I realized I was kind of sinking. It was slow with every step. I sank and sank and sank. Somehow I never felt scared though. I knew that this place was leading me somewhere. I hoped it wasn’t to a frat boy but I would probably accept. Finally, when only my noggin was sticking out of the sand I felt something slimy pull both of my feet straight down and I landed straight into the lap of the snake from the jungle book. I had missed that little guy. He tried to hypnotize me which didn’t work because I am to hardcore to be hypnotized by a snake from a children’s movie. But then he began to move and I had no choice but to hold on. Well maybe I could have jumped off but I don’t know where this place would lead me next. I didn’t want to end up drowning in the ocean with Nemo. Now as I lay on the back of the snake thinking of my frat boy I realized that I might be dreaming. But I couldn’t be right. I had just made the most amazing pancakes. Not even I could dream something as amazing as that up. I began to fall asleep on the back of the snake looking up at the stars through the jungle trees. At first, he was so slimy I wanted to throw up. But now I kinda liked it because it kept me more stuck to his back. As I fell asleep I dreamed of the snake feeding me to his baby snakes and I woke up in a panic. Only when I opened my eyes I was in the Queen of Hearts rose garden. She must’ve thought I was Alice because she started rushing at me screaming “OFF WITH HER HEAD !!!!! OFF WITH HER HEAD!!!!!” Naturally, I started sprinting because I’m kind of a rebel I decided she already wanted to execute me I might as well give her a reason so I started ripping rose buds off as I ran past them. I was laughing she was screaming and all knights keep falling over as I ran by due to the wind cascading behind my fleeing body. As I was starting to get tired I realized no one was around anymore. The queen must’ve finally run out of breath and stopped. As I walked through the garden trying to find my way out I noticed some yellow hair in the middle of the bush. I pushed some leaves away and sure enough, there was Alice letting me take the heat for everything. You know what I did. I grabbed that girl right out of the bush and began scolding her about the vast amounts of calories I just burned in order to save both our skins. She said thank you in her 1930s sweet woman voice and then I let her go on back to the mad tea party where she belonged. That’s when that rabbit came out of nowhere and began bouncing around. He had the audacity to yell at me about being late. I hadn’t even signed up to be here and I was honestly kind of freaking out the whole time. But I decided to follow him because I wondered what he was late too. He jumped past the flowers. He hopped past that Chesire cat. Somewhere along the way, I saw Simba but I had to tell him I couldn’t stop because as the rabbit kept yelling apparently I was late for something. That rabbit kept jumping between trees and through vines. I was convinced at one point that he could actually jump through solid objects but when he stumbled on a loose rock I realized he was just a talking rabbit nothing too crazy. As I followed him longer and longer and my legs became sorer and sorer I swear that I could smell the pancakes. So I ran faster and harder. I felt like I was flying if I knew what that felt like I imagine it would have felt like that. I realized I was so hungry, starving, ravenous. I ran so fast me and the rabbit was basically racing. I was screaming at him that he was more late and he was screaming at me “LATE LATE LATE” as if he was so intent on beating me that no other words could come to his mind. Suddenly as I was looking at him screaming more competitive comments I tripped. It suddenly felt like I was tripping in a 360 and I spun and spun and spun and the rabbit was gone. I considered myself the winner because I would have won despite the trip up. Then I passed out. Just straight blacked out don’t remember how it happened but I was no longer conscious. But then I woke up. And decided to go make some pancakes. Hopefully, I wouldn’t fall in this time.
