Yellow Brick Road
by David
Fantasy films are usually scripted with a typical story ending; an ending with a lesson to be learned. But that’s why they are so well-known and commercially successful. We want to be taken away on a magical journey where every road leads to home, even if it’s just for hundred minutes’ of running time, and then back to reality. Sigh. How wonderful would it be if our lives could end just perfectly at the moment of the highest bliss? And how disastrous would a movie be if the writers were to depict the uncertain world we live in?
The twist to this story was inspired by a song titled "Blown Away" by the American recording artist Carrie Underwood.
Dark clouds gather as lightning strikes across the gloomy skies. A twister approaches. It is the perfect cover up in her plot for revenge.
Hatred builds inside Dorothy as she continues living in a home of negativity and abuse. In all her years of dissatisfaction and inadequacy, Dorothy tries turning in prayer to her dead Mother. But her cries are not heard.
Too many times has she been cursed by her family, too many times has she been victimized by them. She wonders if revenge is as sweet as they say. She waits for a chance to escape depravity.
Dorothy sits in the corner of her room, sobbing silently as she reminisces about the love and good times with her deceased mother. All of a sudden, blasts of wind cracks the windows open. It snaps her out of despair. From the corner of her eye, she spots the storm cellar
through the stained window and decides to shelter in it. As she closes the cellar doors
behind her, her pet dog, Toto, scurries in to join her for cover.
