She woke up to find a myriad of trees solemnly peeking at her. She blinked several times, rays of sun managing to hit her straight in the eyes. With a wince of pain, she lifted herself from the floor and looked around. In the middle of the woods and she couldn't remember how she got there. Brilliant, this is just brilliant, she thought to herself. Lately it seemed that her actions had been increasingly lacking any logic or reason. She noticed with relief that she was wearing all her clothes, all being the operative word, as she seemed to have gathered half her wardrobe and randomly assembled it into parts of her body.

She rubbed her forehead trying to recollect the latest events in her head. She remembered a clock. Yes, the two hands of a clock pointing at sharp angles of time. Why on earth would a clock be her first recollection? She also remembered a rabbit, a white and fluffy rabbit. God in heaven - was she turning into Alice in Wonderland all of sudden? She exhaled trying to relax both her mind and her muscles that seemed to have been involved in some kind of marathon.

No, no, her allarm clock had a white rabbit on top of it, it was Wonderland-themed. That's probably what she remembered. So what had happened? She managed to get to her feet and walk around a little bit, trying to find any clues as to where she was. A thick fog seemed to be arriving through the trees, but she still managed to spot the chimney of her house through the trees. Oh, so she was in the woods on the back of the street...Ok, could be worse.

While she walked on the path towards civilization flashes of the previous night started to invade her. She remembered the softness of her pillowcase first. She was lying in bed on the verge of falling asleep. And then there was a smell, a very distinctive odour of peppermint and pine combined. When she opened her eyes there was a tiny shiny creature sitting on the top of her bed. She was too sleepy to be able to yelp, while the creature smirked at her and amazingly took flight.

She had hesitated between following it or banging her head against something hard, perhaps she'd wake up. But she leap towards the floor while the creature, that wore a tiny green hat and stripy red and white stockings, seemed to have gone through her window glass and stared at her from the outside. She must have then put some clothes on and gotten out of the house following the creature that twirled near the floor, appearing to leave a trace of glitter everywhere. She couldn't remember anything else now. She sighed, a bit frustrated. She thought her days of sleep-walking were gone but clearly her dreams were still vivid enough to make her get out of bed and do all sorts of potentially dangerous things. She decided to buy a lock to put inside the kitchen door and she walked up to the back of her house, quickening her step while inadvertedly stamping on a little bright green hat.

[This is what happens when you start writing something without having the faintest idea of where it's going!]
