The Evil Of Oz

Twisted take on the classic tale

June 24, 1999

I woke up, got dressed, and went about my normal day. I went to school, did my work, and came home. Everything was normal. Besides it being a little cloudy outside, but that’s not big deal, right? I sat on the couch and started my homework for the day, then I slowly started to doze off.

Some amount of time later

I woke up to the whole couch shaking. I look around and see that it’s not just the couch; it’s the whole house! I freak out and look out the window to see what was going on. Come to find out, those clouds were not normal. They created a tornado… Which was heading straight towards my house! I went to take cover in the bathroom. I feel like I was in the tub for hours, when suddenly, the shaking and noise stopped. I slowly raise my head, get out of the tub, and walk to the nearest window. Is the tornado over? The house is still standing, that’s good right? As I approach the window, I see nothing by dust. I look around, and realize that my house is in the air! I watched several things go through the air, and pass my window; a dog, a tree, a family in a car, and even the whole band of 5 Seconds of Summer. Now that is a sight to see. Have you ever seen 4 boys scream at the top of their lungs? That’s a good place to start!

After flying for an hour

I see my house plummeting to the ground, and there is nothing I can do about it. I run to the couch and hope it will break my fall, a little bit at least. When it finally hit the ground, it was a hard thump. I get up from the couch, go to the somewhat crooked door, and open it. I look around and see a type of world that I have never seen before. It seemed that I was in the dead center, and this place was divided into four parts. I look to my left, and see a sunny, happy looking place-I called this area Happy. I look behind me to the left, and it was still sunny, but it seemed a little bit more down, this one I called Calm. I turn one more time and see a rainy, cloudy part, called Sad. Next I look at the fourth sector of the world and see that there are clouds with thunderstorms and very high winds. I decided to call this one Anger.

Happy

I decided to visit Happy first. I walk around and meet some very nice people. They all welcomed me with open arms, and didn’t think twice about it. Some of them asked where I was from, and once I told them that a tornado had brought me here, they would ask if I had visited the dark part. I shake my head and then I would get a warning. “Do not go there, it is a bad idea.” Well of course I ask why but no one would tell me. Of course that made me curious. I walked around a little more and decided it was time to move on. Maybe I’ll find a way home, out of this crazy world.

Calm

Calm wasn’t much different from Happy. The people weren’t as excited and welcoming, but they were still super nice. It was a bit cooler here too. I didn’t know how hot is was in Happy until I crossed the line into Calm. The same things happened when people asked about me; they would ask about - what I call - anger, and then tell me to steer clear of it.

Sad

Sad was completely different from Happy and Calm. I walked around and no one said a word. It made me feel like I had to keep my head down, and not look up or talk to anyone. I came across a sign that pointed one way; to Angry. I look around and every seemed to be going in that direction, so why can’t I?

Angry

I cross the line to Angry, and the whole atmosphere is different. It’s humid, and the wind is blowing 90 to nothing. I hear a lot of yelling and look around and see that there are fights going on everywhere. I decided to ask how I could get out of here by all I got back was either a mean look, or someone yelled at me. I started walking around, minding my own business and I come across a sign that read, “You’re never leaving now.” What does that even mean? I keep walking and find another one, “There is no way out, help me.” Help who? No way out of where? I didn’t like this place at all.. I should have listened to the people of Happy. I decide to go back to happy and figure out how I get to go home. I walk to the divider of Happy and Angry, and I can’t cross. There is a invisible wall that prevents me from crossing…

January 3rd, 2006, maybe?

I am now the person yelling, and fighting… I do not like what I have become, but I can not help it. I was around the yelling and screaming so much that I went mad, and became one of them.. I can remember my old life and I know that it was 1999 when I left, but what year is it now? If I have kept up with time correctly, it is 2006. Every day I walk the border of Angry and try to find a way out, with no success..

I’m stuck here and I can't find a way out… I can’t stop yelling and being mean to the nice people that wonder here, just like I did years ago… I’ll keep trying, but I am slowly loosing hope…

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
