The Wicked Witch Returns
Shouldn't there be a house falling from the sky? I should be singing and the witch should be dead, not taking over my side of the bed. Where's that house and why isn't it here yet?
Looks like The Queen won't be around for a while because when the witch is here, her throne is just an empty chair. I’ll stand here clicking my heels and saying, “There’s no place like home..” but in the literal sense. There can’t be a place similar to one which does not exist.
I'll be here with my eyes closed, wishing for a return to the throne while she's in Emerald City.. falling asleep in the poppies. I guess we were on borrowed time, the hour glass finally ran out of sand and who knows when she’ll flip it again. And since there's no yellow brick road leading to meth, I'm off to see the wizard but I'll be driving instead.

I lied this, its a bit diff from most of your other prose. You seem to use more metaphors in it than you usually do, however it retains that distinct voice I've grown so fond of reading.
