100 Drabbles: 24. No Time

Couldn't think of anything else for this prompt, other than the Wonderland citizens. Just an average day in Wonderland. Wonderland & co. are characters belonging to the great Lewis Carroll, who wrote Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass.

24. No Time

“I’m late! Jeepers! I’m so late!” he cried as he ran down the lane.

“What are you late for?” the Hatter asked, sipping his tea.

The White Rabbit turned, impatient. “The Queen’s football matches! Surely you all would come?”

“Hm, we’ll see.” He bit his buttered toast. “More tea, March Hare?”

“Sure,” and the Hare drank his cupful.

The Rabbit thumped the ground, irritant. “Come on then, gentlemen! We must go to the football matches this instant!”

“Why don’t you go ahead? I see you’re already late,” said the Hatter.

And so he was. The Rabbit cried before hopping off.
