One Piece Puzzles
I walked down a dirt path,
and came upon a rabbit. The rabbit had no eyes, only hollows filled with fireflies. I walked farther into the woods, and saw a light coming from a tree ahead of me. Down fell a zebra that was very polite. He told me which way was out. I followed the path that the zebra said, and came upon a rose bed. The roses then spoke to me, and said, "fetch us water, or we will dry out, we hide a precious thing, no doubt." I wondered if I should fetch the pail, or let myself fail. The roses melted away. Behind the blackened thorns of what was, there lay a woman in a wooden burrow. She wore nothing but a cloak, and she held a long, thin pipe, out of which came scarlet smoke. And behind the scarlet smoke, I could see her eyes were made of mirrors, and her tounge was that of a serpent. The woman spoke, and said "the roses you let die, now I will give you what you have killed for." I stood there upon the burned remnants of my slaughtered prey, as the woman took my hand. She led me down a diamon encrusted path, where she replaced my eyes with tulips. The boy I gave directions to looked very weary. |

ok, i can see that then. The piece did give my mind a trip through an alice in wonderland type world. I was confused by the zebra part, and was wondering if you just made up random things happening and hoped it turned out deep. Im still not sure what you were going for.

Basically, it's a story about how we often pass by the safe things (The rabbit) for ones that seem a little to inviting (The zebra). The person passed by the rabbit, although the rabbit was very welcoming (the fireflies) and instead went with the evil thing that promised it a way out. If the person had taken time to talk to the rabbit, they would've been fine.
