The Wizard of Oz 3
It was a long time ago, back in my earliest days of high school. We had a project due for my drama class, and the basic idea is we had to act out a bunch of scenes from a chosen play. Many students took this premise and simply worked with a collection of scenes from any well-known work of art, Shakespeare, and the like. I, however, had a deep and passion and yearning to not merely replicate works that had been previously done, but to put my own ideas out there in the ether. I wanted more than anything to create something that was mine and share it with everyone.

Hope
My eyes shoot open. The ground is pressing against my body. I wearily scour my surroundings. Around me lie bodies. They're all void of life's light. I'm supposed to be one of them. Before me stands the monster who did this, covered from head to toe in my nation's flag. He's proud of his work. He's saved everybody by killing us all. I push myself up with my bloody hands.

Strange Island Fellows
The fiery wreckage of the plane crash sizzles in the water. Various sections of the plane float along the top of the watery surface, strewn about of a wide area, after coming apart in the middle of flight. Khalid Saqqaf comes up from underwater, yellow life preserver primed, gasping for air. He makes his way over to a floating piece of debris and tries to get his breathing under control. One breath in, one breath out. He repeats this process for about twenty seconds before he’s able to try and grasp his current predicament.
