Think before you speak harshly to others...

Write from the point of view of a fictional character


(Toto)

RUN!!!

" I'll get you my pretty...and your little dog too!"
Those were your exact words...spat out with venom and hate.
What did I ever do to you?
A tiny little pup like me....harm an experienced Crafter like the magnificent Elphaba?
I trotted on...following my mistress, chasing Butterflies and Lions, but I just couldn't shake off the injustice of your words.
Now you hide, cowering under the Moon that birthed me, using poison blooms to trap my beloved.
There is one thing , however, you should be aware of...
My name is short for "Total Eclipse", from when the Moon over-powered the Sun on the day of my birth...
Ad I'm not such the "Little Dog" that you may have thought!

("...and her little dog too?")

Mwahahahaha....Enjoy :D XXX

  1. I'm one of those people who is always more worried about the fate of the animals than the humans when I watch TV shows or movies. Wonderful painting, Gina! You go, Toto!!!

  2. The "little" characters that get ignored sometimes have a way of becoming a fearsome adversary. This made me grin.

  4. Oh my sweet canine-loving gods! You should've heard me shrieking and cheering for the mighty chaser "of butterflies and lions" (I think my cackles scared the Little Princess).

    This is fantastic, Gina. I love Toto's voice, his reasons, he outrage and your superb rendering of him!

  5. Awesome! Toto gets a voice and he's eloquent and aggressive. Love it. I'm tempted to use this new word I've learned:
    Squeeeeeee.
    Favorite part: chasing butterflies and lions
    :-)

  7. Love this aspect of Toto, Gina!
    It makes me happy that the little animals-all too often tragic victims-have a powerful voice here. Fantastic.
    Love your words and your beautiful drawing.
