DOROTHY and TOTO against WICKED

Posted on March 19, 2015 by hafong

It’s time for storytelling on Friday Fictioneers. We are hosted by Rochelle Wisoff-Fields of Addicted to Purple. Here’s my tale of 100 words. I believe in fairy tales, princesses and witches.

Dorothy shivered in the evening air. They had followed the yellow brick road. This was no Emerald City though everything was green with moss.

She scooped up some clean water from the fountain for them and sat down on the cushion of leaves beside Toto. They were exhausted from being whirled, twirled and dropped by the tornado.

They were pursued by the Wicked Witch of the West with her pack of wolves, crows and bees. Wicked was green like slime with a giant eye like cyclops. She was no match against Dorothy’s crucifix.

Safe! Now a fire and some food.

A nice twist, and I am not talking about the tornado! 😉
I also enjoyed reading your “About Me”.

I really enjoyed this twist off a branch of the Wizard of Oz. It had a happy ending with a little humor. 🙂

Always wondered about that Emerald city – sounded too good to be true.
Good luck Dotty and Toto.

Nice fanfiction adaptation of the fabulous Oz. I hope Dorothy doesn’t burn her magic crucifix on the fire by mistake. Or would that bring another twist to the tale? 🙂

Now all Dorothy needs is to get back home. She’s wasn’t as unprotected as she seemed. Great creative twist on the old story, Lilly. 🙂 — Suzanne
