Alternate Wicked Ending

She said, “I will save you!” and she hurled the water at the Witch. Dorothy then trips on a silver nail, on the wooden floor. She falls faintly and passes out. Dorothy has a concussion and her soul detaches. The flying water lands on the Witch and her soul ends up with Dorothy’s soul in limbo.

An arena of familiar faces before the pale darkness; they move in the obscurity like ghouls. There is Mama, looking for Turtle Heart; there is Nessarose, authoritative and lifeless as harden wood. There is Papa, lost in his duplicate, looking for himself in the faces of the suspicious agnosticism. There is Shell, not quite yet himself despite his apparent bodily perfection.

The spirits astonishes become others; they become Nanny in her prime, tart, and overbearing appearance; and the spirit was joined by the presents of Ama Clutch and Ama Vimp and the other Amas, that lumped together now in a material blur. The apparitions become Boq, sweet, slender, and fervent, yet undefeated; and Crope and Tibbett in their funny, senseless anxiety to be liked; and Avaric in his predominance and masculinity. Moreover, Glinda with her femininity and her gowns, waiting to be good enough to deserve what she gets.

The Wizard hangs himself in the despair of knowing that he had sent a young child like Dorothy to kill his one and only daughter, Elphaba. She is rewarded for her benevolence and excellence because she did not bear any sense of evil nature in her other life in the Land of Oz. She was reborn and more alive than ever in this new and unknown world for her.

“And there Elphaba stayed for a good long time.”

“And did she come back to the Land of Oz?”

“Not yet.”
