the Great Oz page 3 by ric gustafson
Mavis stared out the window of the trailer. " Oscar, a mob is coming".
He frowned. He picked up a magic sheet. " Sorry Mavis, this happens to me all the time".
She smiled, She gave him a peck on the cheek. " You better go".
A knock came on the door. " Open up Oscar". The knocks came louder. " Come out you phony".
Oscar put the sheet over himself.
Freckles the Clown burst through the door. " Where is he?".
" Zim Zim Zallah Bim".
The clown walked toward the sheet. Then the sheet dropped. The clown stopped.
Oscar was gone.
Oscar stepped down from under the trailer. He looked around for any signs of the mob.
" There he is".
Oscar ran toward the circus's hot air balloons. He jumped into the basket of the nearest one.
Freckles the Clown ran up to the basket. " Now I got you".
Oscar hit the clown hard in the shin.
The clown doubled over in pain.
Oscar took a knife and cut the rope holding down the basket.
The balloon began to rise into a dark and stormy Kansas sky.
Freckles the Clown slowly got up. " Serves you right you phony".
