Yearning Yellow Brick Road

In an alternate “Wizard of Oz”, Dorothy never wants to leave Oz; write her story.

The classic storyline sees Dorothy Gale desperate to return home, but what if she wanted to stay in the colourful Land of Oz away from her dreary Kansas farm life? How would her journey change, and how would her relationships with the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Lion alter? This prompt encourages plot reinvention, challenging the “there’s no place like home” theme, and delving into alternate character motivations.
