97. Writer's Choice 3 Forgotten

Writer's Choice 3—Forgotten

After their deaths, the Witches of Oz were mostly forgotten.

Sure, the people celebrated on their death—in Glinda's case, birth-- days…but other than that, no one talked about them much.

Even the things that had belonged to them--the shoes, the broom, the Grimmerie—they assumed had always belonged to Dorothy or the Wizard, or possibly Ozma.

Ozma and Dorothy work to ensure that they are remembered, declaring Nessarose's death day 'Eastern Day' and Elphaba's death day 'Western Day'. Glinda's birthday is simply 'Glinda Day'.

For even Dorothy and Ozma do not know that the Witches of the West and East had lives…history…names. They, along with everyone else, have forgotten.
