Reading Rainbow: the March 2020 Superdraft

Recommended Posts

Option: The Martians (The War of the Worlds)

Title: The Pax of the Worlds: An Oral History of Martian Occupation

 

As inspired by Winston Churchill:

Look where you will, you will find that the British have ended wars, put a stop to savage customs, opened churches, school and hospitals, built railways, roads and harbours, and developed the natural resources of the countries so as to mitigate the almost universal, desperate poverty.

I'd seen several quotes from the time period that justified Colonialism by saying it ended tribal wars. My favorite retort was "What do you call WWI and WWII?"

 

So, now the Martians are less about Conquest of Extermination and more about Conquest of Colonization.

"Hear the clicking heels of Gale

Dorothy Gale

What a doom of witches their clashing soon foretells!

How the silver tinkles, tinkles

to send a witch to fright

for the girl from Kansas sprinkles

as her eyes so wholesomely twinkle

with homicidal delight

what a world, world, world

as her destiny's unfurled

to cause painful witch liquidation as the pool of green it wells

At the hands of Dorothy Gale, Gale, Gale

Gale Gale Gale

Is there witch egression from the murderous transgressions of Dorothy Gale?

 

 

Author Pick:  Edgar Allan Poe

Character Pick: Dorothy Gale from Frank L Baum's Wizard of Oz books (They were Silver slippers in the books)

Nice! Did you write that?

 

And I gotta say, the sniping here cheers my heart. I was afraid the literary world was too big and we'd never see a snipe, and it just isn't a good draft without one.

Depending on who you ask, I either wrote it or butchered it *nod* Thank ye
