The Red Queen was locked out of her bothy once again, this time one of the black cats actually did her bidding and pounced on the window latch so that she could reach inside to twist the door handle.

“Ahhh Tamsin you’re a good lad. Brrrr, it’s cold out there!!”

The Red Queen rushed to warm her bare frozen hands over the cauldron fire. The cat’s black tail swaying with the hearth blaze.

Just then a knock at the door, and a tall figure looming in a tartan caftan and cowboy hat.

The Red Queen inched the door open a bit at a time, “Spoonman! Save me. I’m together with your plan,” she smiled, then gestured him inside.

“I do hope so your Majesty, I need my dreams read again. I’m being ghosted.”

“Ghosts? Ahh all my friends are skeletons,” laughed the Red Queen.

Suddenly whispers could be heard coming from the fireplace. “Shhhhh the Queen is Sleeping. No Dreams, no dreams, this realm has awakened us.”

“Oh Shhhh ugar?? The Queen held up a full tea cup toward the Cowboy, ignoring the disembodied voice.

“You know I don’t take Sugar, I don’t even like your scones! How can you look me in the eye and tell me you did not just hear that?”

“Hear what? The bells chiming to celebrate our decade of friendship?”

“You are mad woman! Bat’s in the belfry mad!” he air circled his ear with his finger.

“I’m not crazy. My reality is just different from yours,” stated the Red Queen with a Cheshire grin.
