Disclaimer: The concept of the Wizard of Oz is not my own. However this side-story
is my own creation. I started the story on my calculator during Algebra and then transferred it here 'cause I liked it.

(Spiffy-Looking man gets up on a podium in the middle of the Emerald City.)

"Hello. My name is Bob. As you can see am a resident of the Emerald City. Newscasters all over the city have been printing the same headlines for almost six months now: "Terrible times have fallen on our land and the 'Wonderful Wizard of Oz' has come to lead us out. . ." Of course with a few variations about the latest 'Wonderful' thing the Wizard has accomplished. We owe him our thanks, true, but this madness must come to an end. Can nobody see what is happening to our world? He is mercilessly persecuting our people and brainwashing our young. Already he has cunningly wormed his way into our people's lives and gained their trust. Have we all forgotten how only a few months ago there was public controversy over who our 'precious' wizard was? Have you all dismissed the horrible acts he has committed since his arrival? Our beloved Ozma regent was cast out of her home and forced into hiding…"

(Suddenly trumpets blare and sirens sound.)

"Fellow citizens! The wizard has been informed of our gathering! Leave quickly, if you value your life then don't mention that you were here. If they follow you then hide! Hide and never come back!"

At that moment panic erupted as all tried to leave at once. A pounding on the door made everyone freeze in fear.

"Open up in the name of the Wizard!" a voice shouted.

A frenzied panic resulted with everyone pushing to get down the trap door and run in their different directions. The Guards hearing the panic pounded on the door harder until it broke down. As the dust began to clear the guards began closing in on two people. One of them turned around and gasped in surprise. Hearing this, the other figure whipped around.

As the guards closed in, one of them smiled revealing rotting teeth, "Well, well, well," he chuckled. If it isn't the infamous 'Bob'. Of course that's not your real name is it? No, that's only the code name you use to fool spies. But what you didn't realize is that you can't hide forever. One of the Wizards spies found you last night at the Slippery Snake tavern and has been following you ever since."

Bob's eyes widened in surprise.

"And who is this you have with you?" The guard reached for her with a nasty grin.

"No!" Bob screamed. With inhuman reflexes Bob reached over, grabbed the girl and threw her down the trapdoor before the guard had ever taken a step. "Run! It's up to you now to carry on my work! Find the Ozma regent and return her to her rightful throne!" he yelled as he tried to shut the door as three guards grabbed his arms to hold him back.

In anger one of the guards slammed the butt of his gun into the side of Bob's head. With a grunt the man fell forward effectively closing the trapdoor the rest of the way.

What do you think so far? The story took a completely different direction than
I thought it would. I will hopefully write another chapter soon but schools coming up so I may not have time. Please review!
