The Hung Woman of Oz
by Laika Pupkino
The four traveling companions introduced themselves to the giantess, Dorothy and then the others all shaking her large hand. The woman smiled shyly, "I'm Joan Jones."
"That's a peculiar sort of name," said The Tin Woodsman.
Sheepishly, Joan removed the noose from around her neck and said, "To some around here I'm known as The Hung Woman."
Despite her gentle demeanor the Cowardly Lion felt intimidated by the sheer size of her. He stammered, "But whuh-why do they call you a hung woman if you h-haven't hung yourself yet?"
"And shouldn't that be 'hanged woman'?" asked the Scarecrow, scratching his head.
Big Joan sighed and lifted the front of her skirt for them.
"Arf!" said Toto.
