Malice in Kulturland, by Horace Wyatt (ePub/pdf)

When Alice falls ill just before the summer holidays, a feverish sleep transports her into a bizarre woodland where extinct political birds debate the meaning of treaties and poets rewrite nursery rhymes about the Kaiser. Guided by a solemn Dodo, she wanders through a landscape where enemies embrace, suffragettes fall silent, and newspapers publish blank spaces instead of facts.

At a grand house, a self-important Duchess poses for cameras while nursing a baby made of red tape that slowly dissolves in her arms. A wandering Russian Bear appears and vanishes like an official statement, leaving Alice to navigate diverging paths marked by cynical signs.

Deeper in the wood, two identical monarchs argue over logic and war while a sleeping Red King dreams the entire world into existence. As his fists begin to wave, Alice must decide whether she is a dreamer or merely a dream—and what happens when the nightmare finally wakes.
