" You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you. "

This is not my imagination. I'm not imagining this. These are actual flying monkeys and they're harassing us.

"Help! Help! Someone save Toto please!"

And before I knew it, two grabbed and kidnapped me. I screamed as loud as I could but there's no use. The rest of the monkeys are harassing Scarecrow, tin man, and lion as well.

I hear Toto barking before one monkey kidnaps him.

....was it worth it? Fame, was it worth it?

No. Of course not.

"What a nice little dog," she muttered "and you my dear, what an unexpected pleasure. It's so kind of you to visit me in my loneliness."

Another witch. The wicked witch of the West, we're finally face to face.

Caitlyn Jenner as the witch of the West

I knew I was right when I said that witches are old, mean, and ugly. And this lady puts the icing on the cake.

All I know is she better not harm Toto. I don't give a damn about Hollywood.

"W-what are you gonna do with my dog? Give him back to me! You better not hurt him!" I spat.

She laughed. "All in good time my pretty. All in good time."

"Please. Please give me back my dog."

"You want the dog? You got it! But first, give me those slippers."

"The slippers? Why? The good witch of the North told me not to."

"You're not gonna give them to me? Okay," she trailed off "leave the dog in that basket and throw it in the river, make sure you drown him," she told the flying monkey.

"No!" I yelled "okay. You win, you can have these damn slippers but you better not hurt Toto!"

"That's a good little girl," she smirked "I knew that you would come to your senses sooner or later."

But when she tried to take them away from me, she failed causing her to let out a growl.

"I'm sorry! I didn't do it I swear. But can I still have my dog?"

"No! How stupid can I be? I just remembered something. I should have known that those slippers will never come off... as long as you're alive."

She continued. "But that's not what's worrying me. It's how to do it. You see, these things must be done delicately or you hurt the spell."

I cut my eyes at Toto who managed to escape and run away. Thank God.

"Run Toto! Run!"

"Catch him! What the hell is wrong with you?" she demanded the flying monkey.

I cried tears of joy. "He got away! He got away! Thank the Angels in Heaven."

"Listen to me. You've been more trouble to me than you're worth. But it'll soon be over now."

She quickly grabbed an hourglass filled with some sort of red dust.

"Do you see that? That's how much longer you've got to be alive. And it isn't long pretty girl, it isn't long! I can't wait to get those shoes," she spat before running away.

I stood there motionless. What have I gotten myself into? Started off in Munchkin Land and ended up at the witch's castle.

I didn't think it would end up this way. All I wanted was to become a famous singer and make it in Hollywood. But right now more than anything, I just want to go home.

I just want to go home.

Tears began streaming down my cheeks while I continued to watch the hourglass.

Where are my friends? Where is Toto? This can't happen right now. How could the Wizard set us up?

I continued to cry. "I'm so scared. I'm so scared. I miss you Aunt Em and I'm so scared right now!"

"Dorothy! Dorothy! Where are you? It's me, Aunt Em."

I hear Aunt Em's voice. I know I hear her voice, I just don't know where it's coming from.

I spun around to face a large crystal ball which portrays her.

"Aunt Em?" I whispered.

"We're trying to find you. Dorothy where are you? Where did you run off to? Are you okay?"

"I'm here Aunt Em! I'm right here in OZ and somehow I ended at the witch's castle. I'm trying to get home to you Aunt Em!"

In the blink of an eye, she faded.

"Aunt Em don't go away! Please don't go away! I'm scared, come back! Come back!"

"Auntie Em come back," the witch mimicked. "Come back! Come back! Well I'll give you Auntie Em pretty girl."

-

"Dorothy are you in there?" Scarecrow asked.

Prayer changes. God answered my prayers.

"It's me! The witch locked me in! Hurry please hurry! The hourglass is almost empty guys please hurry!"

Tin man used an axe to tear down the door.

I ran up to them, "I knew you guys would show up! Where's Toto? Is he okay?"

"He's right here Dorothy. And he's fine, he actually led us here with lion's help," said Scarecrow.

"Alright now let's get the hell out of here!" Lion spat.

Seems like things go from bad to worse. As soon as we make it down the stairs, the front door closes and the witch begins to laugh.

I hate that ugly laugh of hers.

"Going so soon? You just broke my heart. Why are you leaving? My little party's just beginning."

Her army of flying monkeys approached the scene.

"That's right, don't hurt them right away. We'll let them think about it first," she chuckled.

We were able to run away again with the witch and her monkeys on our tail.

"Where do we go now?" Lion asked.

"This way. Follow me," said Scarecrow.

Doesn't matter which way we go, the monkeys are going to somehow catch us. Now we're trapped.

"Thought you could escape didn't you? Well how about this, the last to go will see the first three go before her, and your mangy little dog too!"

She grabbed her broomstick and lit the ends on fire while smirking.

"How about a little fire Scarecrow?"

He flinched while she used her broom to burn his arm.

"Damn! I'm burning! I'm burning!" he yelled in pain.

I grabbed a bucket of water and threw it on him but, didn't mean to splash the witch as well.

"You little brat! Look what you've done! I'm melting! Melting! I'm allergic to water!"

Just that quick, she melted. What did I do? I didn't mean to....

"She's dead. You've killed her," a flying monkey mumbled.

"No. No I didn't mean to kill her. I promise. It's just, my friend was on fire."

"Let's give all praises to Dorothy! The wicked witch of the West is dead!" he shouted.

"Hail to Dorothy! The wicked witch of the West is dead!" they cheered in unison.

I smiled. "The broom. Can we have it? Please."

"Here," he said "take it with you."

"Oh thank you. Thank you so much! Now we can go back to the Wizard and tell him the witch is dead."

"Good luck and thanks again Dorothy!"

Guys this story is almost over but man it's so fun to write.

No shade towards Caitlyn btw. I have nothing against her, I just think she fits the role as the witch of the West.

So I created part of the blurb for "A Night With My Male Stripper":

"Come with me. I'll make sure I give you the best night of your life," he says.

So that's just part of the blurb. What do you guys think about it?
