Yellow Brick Road's Muggers

Muggers of the Yellow Brick Road by J.B. Pravda

Remembering the sagacious words of their inspirational Napoleonic
organizer, the Munchkins used their alleged weaknesses as strengths,
stealthily lurking amid the stunted shrubbery along the storied Yellow
Brick Road, waiting for the ever-vulnerable brainless, heartless or
cowardly pilgrims trekking toward Emerald City upon whom to pounce;
once hidden among these hapless travelers the Munchkins intended to, at
a minimum----a measure with which they were all too familiar----extort
full stature from the Mighty Oz or make off with all the emeralds they
could carry to the nearest growth hormone dealer.
