Tolkien quote of the day:

‘Well here we are, just the four of us that started out together,’ said Merry. ‘We have left all the rest behind, one after another. It seems almost like a dream that has slowly faded.’

‘Not to me,’ said Frodo. ‘To me it feels more like falling asleep again.’

bullet Drabbles by Salsify by Salsify Last Updated: 5/29/2004
Here are a handful of drabbles I've written lately, 100 words being about all I can fit onto phone message notes at work. I'm beginning to like being put on hold. "First Contact" is a prequel to my story "Dinner Guests", and probably won't make much sense if you haven't read that. Persons of refined taste and delicate sensibilities should probably skip that one.
