Far From Home

Simple

Dorothy Gale

Lost over the rainbow

Braving strange lands all across Oz

Changed girl

๐ŸŒˆ

Tin Man

Heartless

Polished sorrow

Longing to be human

Settling for a heart-shaped clock

Empty

โ™ฅ๏ธ

Lion

Coward

Trembling in grass

Would-be king of jungle

Courage hidden under his fur

Roar rises!

๐Ÿฆ

Scarecrow

Ragged

Head full of straw

Yellow road beckoning

Emerald wishes beyond post

Unbound

๐Ÿฆโ€โฌ›

Galinda

Good witch?

Or wicked one?

Glittering deception

Withholding truth from Dorothy

Pink lies

๐Ÿช„

Elphaba

Green

Misunderstood

Villainized for her power

Rightful heir to silver slippers

Cast out

๐Ÿงน

The Wizard

Magic?

Great? Powerful?

Con man behind curtain

Omaha, Nebraska native

A fraud

๐Ÿ”ฎ

**********************************************************************

Been having the worst writer's block, but another site had a prompt to write about a scarecrow who wants to leave the field, so I wrote Unbound. All the ads on Peacock for Wicked for Good, inspired me to write about the other characters as well. I combined details from the original books, the Wizard of Oz movie, and the Wicked book and movies.

Finally realizing I need to start acting like the main character in my own life. Writing helps me figure out where I keep losing the plot and giving away my spotlight. My story is a big mix of drama, comedy, tragedy, thriller, and, horror.
