Message to the Tin Man

 You ever wish you could send a message to a character in a book. Or put that character into a modern story. Well, that is what fan fiction is all about. Personally, I think the whole idea is lame. You can think of your own original character? Seriously?

Truly, there is only one character from a book that I would like to see modernized. That is the Tin Man.

He's the perfect character for some sappy romance novel, for sure.

Think about it.

A modern tin man- tough on the outside, maybe at first comes across as someone who doesn't have a heart. He likes to think he is indestructible and invulnerable. He carries himself like he owns his town. He doesn't put up with games and calls women out on your bluffs. He's independent and likes his own space. The kind of man that doesn't want a clingy woman.

He has a softer side, though, the side he only shows to his girl. The one that when she is at work cuts out paper hearts to make love notes for her. Who will wake up on his day off and make her pancakes and eggs. The one who will watch that goofy comedy show he hates just to hold her. The one who sends her a text every morning before he goes to work. The one who kisses her like the world will end tomorrow.

And like all good characters, he has a weakness. The modern tin man is so good at fronting, he can't admit that he needs the girl in the story, like she needs him.

So, if I had to pick a character to send a message to. It would be The Tin Man.

Message: Thought for a second, I saw you bringing back my heart.
