L. FRANK BAUM AFTER THE WIZARD LEFT OZ ...So Dorothy took Toto in her arms, closed her eyes, and clicked her heels together three times, wearing the ruby slippers she had taken from the witch after her house fell. "I want to go home to Kansas," she whispered. There was a collective gasp from the inhabitants of the Emerald City, as she seemed to be carri...

The capital of Canada is as small as the minds of the men and women who inhabit...

What you ordinary human folks like...
His Kingdom His foot slammed to the floor, the gas pedal trapped beneath. With the windows open on the Dodge Charger, modified to his specs, of course, John laughed at the city that he had conquered, although no one would know that he was the one driving it, hair whipping back from his face. No one knew who he was -- not like that, at least. No one knew tha...
His afternoon was interrupted by a call from the local planning commission office. He and Thomas Wilkes were requested to attend a meeting about his proposed house. This was a little puzzling as they believed their request to build a new house on the property was within the residential city code. The members of the planning commission were a mix of professi...
