Truth about the Tinman

""I will replace courage, conviction and creativity with efficiency, busyness and productivity.""



I was captured by the thought of the Tin Man. How did he come to be covered in tin? How appropriate that he should lose his heart while gaining a stronger more efficient body. I knew that it was a story I wanted to write.



The Tin Man falls prey to the deception of the witch and so forgets who he once was and how to love. As he gives his mind over to believing the lie, he slowly becomes covered in tin. Believing a lie is like drinking poison. You may not feel the effects right away, but slowly, one dose at a time, it can kill you. My hope is that you have been entertained, but that you will also take a moment to consider what you've been swallowing lately. Don't be deceived, the heart of a man is precious.
