*Yes, yes. You simply took a nap. And while you took that nap, two months went by. Bravo.* The voice said in the most sarcastic tone it had ever sounded.
And a confused and surprised Alice asked,
"What? What did you say?"
*You heard me. Two months went by while you slept like a log of wood.*
Alice was shocked. Two months? It had been two months?
She immediately turned to where she kept the rest of the meat and discovered they had gone bad.
She fell to her knees and crouched down as invisible tears flowed down her eyes.
"My meat!" She wailed.
She dropped her hands on the ground and started regretting all her life's decisions like she had lost the most valuable thing in her life.
"Why did it have to end like this?" She asked and raised her body, yelling at the ceiling. "Take me instead and give me back my precious meat."
*...*
The voice was speechless. Dumbstruck, was more like it.
