[ WP ] You find a small cake that says , `` Eat Me . '' Being a Lewis Carroll fan you do just that . But instead of it changing your size , it makes you extremely sarcastic . Now you have to find the counter-drink before you say something you ca n't take back .

I was the kind of kid who spent more time in fantasy worlds than I did in reality. 
 
 It concerned my parents, no doubt, that I considered Hermione my closest friend; that me and Dorothy had a long, sordid history, that Alice and I often frolicked in the lemongrass. But in truth, books were my escape. I was socially awkward and intelligent. This combination alone destined me for abuse all throughout my school years, so instead of becoming dark and twisted, I let my heart be filled with the writings of men and women who understood what a child really wants. Which, of course, is love. 
 
 So it was no surprise that a few weeks after my seventeenth birthday, on a cold, rainy Saturday, I came across a small cake in the woods surrounding my house. “ Eat Me ” was printed on it in strange, cursive letters. The cake itself was relatively small, certainly compact enough to fit into my mouth. 
 
 I did not question the cake. It could have been filled with Rohypnol or arsenic and I would have been none the wiser. The truth may be that perhaps I hoped it was. I had little to live for, and everything to give. 
 
 But it didn ’ t. The cake tasted sweet but slightly stale. It could have been out there for weeks. I did not feel myself growing, as Alice had, nor did I feel any change taking place over me, except for a slight tingling at the base of my skull. 
 
 Saddened by the revelation that I was not any different from an ordinary human, and that my white-bread existence was going to stay just that, I trudged home, my head low. My mother was sitting in the living room when I entered and looked up briefly. 
 
 “ How was your outing? ” she asked. 
 
 “ Wonderful, mother, ” I said. “ It was the best day of my life. ” She looked a little surprised at my sarcasm, but did not say anything.
