Wicked page 2 by ric gustafson
The midwives were carrying an infant in the rain. They protected the infant from the rain drops. When they came to their destination, they began to wash off the infant. No matter how much they scrubbed off, the infant was a shade of pale emerald.
The fishwife sighed. " Is it a boy?".
The crone shook her head. " It's a girl".
The new baby had a long head and scratchy little nails. She had green skin and salmon blush cheeks and belly.
The maiden frowned. " Let's kill it, you know what people will say".
Then the child yawned.
The child's father walked over. " She's the wrong color".
The child's nanny picked up the infant. " What is the baby's name?".
Frex sighed. " Elphaba".
" After Saint Aelphaba".
" Yes". Frex sighed again. " We need to tell Melena".
