Progress

"Ooooh, look" said Alice, "A park bench."
"Let's sit in the sunshine and listen to the grass sing."
So they sat quietly under a tree and watched the bench.

They could always tell when children were coming by the noise.
All the animal would dive for cover as the young monkeys appeared kicking cans, or picking flowers to throw onto the path, or simply shrieking their existence to their barren world of breakables.

These monkeys were a little older than the shriekers, they had little cans that they used to hiss different colours onto paths and trees, a bit like dogs with multicoloured pee marking out their terror-trees.

They loved the bench and most of its green soon disappeared under reds, yellows, purple and black.

Meanwhile the squirrels hid round the backs of the trees and the Robin ran, the blackbird ceased his soulful song and only the pigeons paraded the path pecking regardless as the sprayers sprayed on.

The white rabbit suddenly took out his watch and said "Ah, time for tea."

So off they went flitting quietly through the park until they reached the rose garden.
"Ah, lovely" said Alice. Look at that beau-beautiful red, it's exactly the same colour as my dress."

"I preferred it when you used to wear those pretty sky blue dresses with the white cloud around the neck." said the White rabbit nostalgically.

"The blue used to complement my golden hair." said Alice, "Now red matches the anger in my blood."

"Can these monsters really be descended from humans?"
asked the White rabbit as another group of monkeys chased the pigeons, ripped flowers from the rose bushes and poked fun at the two drunks asleep on park benches. "They're nothing like you Alice."

"When I was a child, children were seen and not heard...
and parents told children what to do." said Alice.
"Now it is the children who tell the parents."

"I wonder if there's any cider left in them bottles?"
said the biggest member of the monkey gang.
He picked one up and was just about to open it when with a roar the sleeper awoke and saw his soma was in danger of disappearing.

Meanwhile Alice and the rabbit were long gone!
