Alice In Wonderland Syndrome; Synopsis

Alice is stuck, paralysed in her own head. Her memories, her trauma, her wonderland, it haunts her and corrupts her mind until she falls into nothing. Her old "friends" are back, from her past, her old childhood to hopefully bring her back and save from the "hero's of her mind", but things are quite...peculiar. Its and old joyful scene and atmosphere, a tea party, and Hatter is there, so is Rabbit but its not the same, why? Her eternal fear and conflict is growing and is becoming more violent, present, she can't stay for more than 5 minutes or she she will become more bad, over powered, even finished. She wants to get better, she has too, its what the councillors say and want right? Or is it the opposite is it better to be crazy? Who benefits from her madness? Its her own narrative of her own madness and conflict its all in her destroyed head, or is it? Her own wonderland is destroyed, its over, broken. Not even the special cake or tea can make her grow or shrink in happiness or despair anymore. This horror and fantasy hybrid is the birth of her madness and her internal burning of her mind.
