Juxtaposition

A Juxtaposition practice in class.
So here's what I got, tree x hand phone.



"Wish You Were Here, Alice."


In the Wonderland of Alice in Wonderland, there is a teleportal tree that Alice didn't discover in her journey. Hence, nobody knows about the existence of the tree. After few decades, the area was demolished, left the teleportal tree and a family built a house with the tree in their yard. The tree was modified into a music player. Since then the tree started turning greyish blue and brownish yellow leaves.

A teenage boy, Bernard, walked to his backyard and sit under a tree as usual. He put his hand phone on the tree port and played his all time favorite old song - Wish You Were Here - Avril Lavigne. He then leaned on the tree trunk reading his favorite book. Reading the book was almost his daily routine. He always smiled while reading the book and ended a disappointed look after reading it.
 


Few months ago, Bernard's mom just bought him a story book from an antique store. He was so excited. He went to his backyard and read the book under a tree. After reading the first few pages, he was bored of the story and fell asleep. The book slipped off his hand and his head sliding down to the left side. The slid accidentally triggered a secret activator on the tree and Bernard was teleported into Wonderland. The teleport caused a slight electrical shock through the headphones to Bernard and he was woken.

He was confused and wondering where were he, scratching his head while standing up. "Mom! Where are you?" shouted Bernard. Tall trees surrounded him and they were different from the tree in his yard. The trees were actually brown with green leaves at the top. Soft wind blowing towards his face and warm sunlight shone through the leaves. "This place is wonderfully beautiful!" he whispered.

Curiosity drove him walked further and further from the tree. He was so attracted and wanted to see more of this beautiful land. He walked out the forest and reached a garden with beautiful flowers like Morning Glory, Lavender, Sunflowers and many more. Suddenly he heard a girl's voice shouting," Oh Mr. Rabbit! Wait for me!" 

He saw a blonde pretty teenage girl with a blue dress. Yes, she was Alice, of  Wonderland. Her beautiful blue eyes and red cheeks has attracted Bernard. However, Bernard had no idea who she was as he didn't finish the story. He ran forward and introduced himself as Alice was looking for Mr. Rabbit.

Somehow Bernard's smile had too attracted Alice. They talked about their life and mostly everything as they found each other's life were so much different and so interesting. The chit-chat made Alice forgot about finding the rabbit and had so much fun spending time with Bernard.

They watched the sunset together on a cliff and they had a great time. Alice was leaning on Bernard's shoulder and they were enjoying the moment. 

Suddenly, a strong force pulled Alice and Bernard apart. Bernard was waken once again. But this time, Bernard was back to his backyard, so did Alice, back to her sister.

Bernard time traveled and the history was changed. The cover of the book on the ground were changed to How Bernard meet Alice in Wonderland.

They both missed each other a lot ever since then. However they had no idea how to meet each other again. All Bernard can do is read the book over and over again and keeps those sweet memories in his heart.

"Wish you were here, Alice." Bernard sighed.
