Alice in the Wasteland

By Zac Shaw

Lying before you is a pitch-black, surreal, grotesque and unforgiving nightmare. This monotone parody of Alice in Wonderland holds no hope, only dystopian ruin and acerbic social commentary. Born in a nuclear wasteland, poor Alice is suddenly cast into a hallucinogenic mashup of the worst of modern culture, only to be finally deposited at the doorstep of the same doomed insanity from which she first embarked.

It begins: Amidst the barren wastelands, where ash-ridden skies bled gray, Alice sat wearied beside the skeletal remains of what she believed was her mother. It was difficult to distinguish a trace of her long-lifeless form amidst the scorched earth. An old tome lay next to the scattered bone fragments, its pages parched and weathered, devoid of illustrations or text. "What's the worth of a book," Alice pondered, "in a world where voices have been silenced and visions perished?"

Get acquainted with the foul-smelling, anxiety-ridden Off-White Rabbit. Meet the crack-smoking, smack-talking Tapeworm twitching above a rotting psilocybin mushroom. Behold the murderous Queen of Heart Emojis, the petulant baby juggalo and the clinically insane Gutter Cat with its saw-toothed grin.
