SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW

Posted on February 4, 2015 by hafong

It’s Wednesday and I’m ready for Friday Fictioneers and our stories of 100 words. We’re hosted by Rochelle Wisoff-Fields of Addicted to Purple. Here’s my 100 words for the picture prompt. I hope you will enjoy them. These are hard times and we need a little wizardry and lots of rainbows in our lives.

Dorothy wondered what had happened. Last thing she remembered was feeding the chickens for Aunt Em. Uncle Henry was cleaning the barn.

She gazed around, her mouth opened, her eyes round in wonder. She saw the rainbow. She was dazed and amazed. She remembered being swept up by a big wind.

She felt something squirm in her arms. Toto! Oh thank God! At least she was not alone in this strange place. She put the little black dog down. They have to find their way back home.

She saw the yellow brick road. With Toto following, she headed towards it.

At least she wasn’t surrounded by the Lollipop Kids – they drive me nuts!

  I have to watch the movie again. It’s been a long time. I had to google the Lollipop Kids. 🙂

Come to think of it she did end up in a maze of sorts! Good twist to the prompt. 🙂

Dear Lily,

I think you mean something she felt something squirm (no ed) in her arms.

Wait for it, Dorothy. The munchkins should be a long any minute. Ding dong! Cute story.

Shalom,

Rochelle

The wind blew so hard here today in Northern Nevada that I swear I saw Dorothy and Toto fly by. Along with 3 panels of my fence.

Yes. let’s have some wizardry and rainbows. I’m so glad Toto’s not lost – she needs to have him close. Nice story.

Good story, Lily. That always brings back memories. I absolutely loved the part in the film where it turned from black and while to color. Well done. 🙂 — Suzanne
