the Great Oz page 1 by ric Gustafson


Oscar Diggs walked down the muddy path toward the circus tent.
" Come Come" bellowed the carnival barker as he pointed toward the open flap. " Come see Miss Betty Lou Gumption the gunslinging sharpshooting beauty".
Oscar walked to the rear of the large tent.
" Come and see the Master of Magic" he said as he pointed at the open tent entrance. " He will astound and amaze you". He hesitated. " Come in to experience the Great Oz".
Oscar entered the small trailer. He heard a female voice.
" Oscar, you only have five minutes to get ready".
" Ok". Five minutes later, he reappeared wearing a turban and a magician's coat.
She straightened the coat and turban. " You look stunning Oscar".
" Thank you Mavis". He smiled. " Do you remember what I want you to do during the act?".
" Of course Oscar".
He opened the door of the trailer. " Let's do it".
