Harbinger

Dark night. Everything's dark. My head won't stop hurting.



Harbinger


"He's dying, Sam." The whisper hung in the air.

"Well, good riddance if he is," Sam sputtered. "Mr. Frodo, you mustn't - "

"Sam." One word, his name, and he was silenced as if at the edge of a knife. The eyes gazing at him were like windswept caverns; only a tiny spark flickering from a distance spoke of what had been, long ago and now a world away. "I'm dying, too."

Useless words rose then, words that would wither away if spoken, like everything else in this haunted land. His heart rebelled, but in his mouth he tasted dust.

Thanks, Elanorelle. I thank the gods for my Muse - without Him all this darkness would go to waste...

Awww. The angst is really going to kill me. I don't know if I can survive the build-up to the movie if people keep writing things like this.

Stark and tragic, and beautifully done.

My Muse does seem to have taken up residence on the dark side lately. He hasn't had a cheerful word for me in weeks!

The reference to Frodo's eyes being like caverns worked for me -- good symbolism, and it conveyed an important point...
