The sun was bright and dazzling in the sky, and the Queen’s castle
towered, grand and beautiful with its neat, symmetrical turrets, bathed in
its signature reddish glow. The castle grounds sparkled like rubies and
rustled with the excitement of everyone at the garden party.
Not.
A scene like that, Red imagined, was the exact opposite of the dismal
soirée that was unfolding before her. She crossed her studded boots at the
ankle, slouching in one of the little wrought-iron chairs in the corner of the
garden, twirling a finger around her wavy hair, which was, as you might
have guessed, red. Red was wearing her signature red-and-black leather
jacket and matching red-and-black-striped leather pants. Black fingerless
gloves and a fishnet tank top completed the look. After all, she wasn’t the
daughter of the Queen of Hearts for nothing. Yes, that Queen of Hearts, the
red-gloved, scarlet-wearing, beautifully scary off with her head queen
whose ball gowns often resembled bloodred roses. Where was the Queen?
Red’s mother always made a particular show of enjoying today’s type of
gathering, but she wasn’t anywhere near the un-event. And this just wasn’t
Red’s cup of tea.
The event wasn’t really supposed to be anyone’s cup of tea, so to speak,
for it was not a party they were having in the garden, but an un-party. What
is an un-party, you ask? Well, it’s simply a party where nobody does
anything party-like. There should be gifts—such as the immaculately
wrapped packages and glittering bows stacked high on the wrought-iron
table—but no one opens them. Red hardly bothered to look at the presents,
knowing they would only be thrown away at the event’s end.
