SOME say Alice has taken a barrel over Niagara falls.
Others say she floated down the deep cavern filled a flock of carnivorous cuckoo birds.
But we all know our dear Alice took a one way ticket to the moon. Not the moon as it is, but the moon as it was. Full, fantastic, and abundant with magical life. In fact, we have a video to prove it:
Watch the Nikolas and Company book trailer below:
Now, answer the question:
Alice woke up and mysteriously found herself aboard the Mottled Craw in the video. What did she say?
Leave your response on the comment section below.
Let it be funny.
Let it be whimsical.
Let it be poignant.
Whatever it is, let it be posted!
The comment that strikes my fancy will receive a free ebook copy of Nikolas and Company: The Merman and The Moon Forgotten.

Nikolas and Company – The Merman and The Moon Forgotten http://nikolasandco.com
Synopsis:
Nick lives in a time when one can zip from country to country in mach-speed hovercars, extend their life indefinitely through cerebral downloads, and have every whim taken care of by their ever faithful nannydrone.
Nick hates it.
Aside from the refugee camps, overpopulation, and unchecked consumerism filling every city across the globe, Nick just doesn’t belong. That is when he hears the voice of a woman:
“The Rones lie about their true intent. They enter the city of Huron at the peril of us all.”
Shortly after, his slightly crazed grandfather reveals to him:
“All you’ve ever heard about the Moon is a lie, my dear Nikolas. He was not always a mere satellite, a ghost wandering the stars. In an age before our own, Moon was our twin, and in him bore the whole of magical life. The cradle of this magical civilization was a fantastic metropolis filled with fire-breathing winged lions, volcano-born nymphs, automaton-legged mermaids, and so much magic you can smell it. We called this city Huron, and you, Nikolas, are her steward.”
Meanwhile on the moon, the senior stagecoach driver Yeri Willrow thought he was performing a simple drive and drop for his mysterious passengers, until they are attacked by foul-breath red-eyed creatures. He soon learns that his passengers are a family of automaton-legged merfolk, and he is their only hope. Yeri suddenly finds himself tasked with saving the merfolk or they will fall to the peril of the creature most foul.
