Wicked page 1 by ric gustafson
The witch stared out from the topmost bough of a black willow tree. She quietly watched as the four approached the tree, When the four had stopped, she tucked her broom under her arm. She quietly scuttled down the tree. Now she was only twenty feet from her prey.
There were four of them. One was a huge cat possibly a lion. One was a tin woodman. One was an animated scarecrow. The fourth was a girl.
" What a witch". replied the Lion. " Psychologically warped insane".
The Tin Woodman spoke up. " She was castrated at birth".
The Lion frowned. " She's a despot and a tyrant".
Just then, the witch noticed the girl. She was a good size farm girl. She was dressed in blue and white. In her lap was a little dog.
The girl frowned as she looked toward the distance. " There is a storm coming".
" We're safe here" replied the Tin Woodman.
" No, we're not". The girl looked worried. " Let's run to that shed up ahead".
The four ran off.
Then the witch noticed the sparkly shoes the girl was wearing. Those were her sister's shoes.
