(A/N: I wasn't totally sure if 'Munchkins,' 'Wicked Witch of the East' and 'Tin Man' should be capitalized, but I went with yes, because I figured if they're not supposed to be, no one's going to say "OMG! 'Munchkins' shouldn't be capitalized!' [At least, I hope no one will say that.] Enjoy!)
Celebrate
Many Munchkins celebrated the death of the Wicked Witch of the East, AKA Nessarose. The Tin Man, better known as Boq, was not among them.
Boq should have been the one celebrating the most. None of the other Munchkins was Nessa's servant, living in her house, helping her with things she couldn't do herself.
But Boq didn't celebrate. How could he? He had wished that Nessa would die so many times, but now that she was dead, he could only think of the things he'd miss about her. Things like her bright smile, her big, blue eyes, her soft voice.
Nessa had died thinking Boq hated her. And Boq had thought he hated Nessa, but now he wasn't so sure.
Maybe he had crossed the thin line between hate and love, but didn't realize it.
And now it was too late. Now Nessa was dead, and Boq wasn't celebrating like he should have been.
He was wishing he was dead, too.
One question kept appearing in his mind:
How do you kill a man made out of tin?
