That is a wonderful description of how the proud Wood-elves must have felt at their failure.

Author Reply: Thanks. I'm not convinced I got it - but that's what I wanted.

"The edge of my utter aloneness..." That is such a wonderful line...

Author Reply: Um... *blush* and thank you ;-)

This is wonderful... very poignant. I like his transition from childhood wonder to jarring reality. Very well written... congratulations.

Author Reply: Thank you! Real Frodo-experts have said it is bit more movie-Frodo than book-Frodo and they could be right - but I still think he was in that extended childhood of the well-to-do until all this happened.

What a 'chilling' analogy, between the cold air and the Ring's siren call. Very nice!

Ooo, well done! I think I have some inkling of how Legolas feels here, at least on a general level. I've worn glasses since the third grade; now I'm trying to work my way out of them without those awful lasers, and now I've endured an entire year with suddenly insufferably short vision, though it is improving *oh-so-slowly*. It is irksome to suddenly have your powers of perception trammelled, especially, I would imagine, for an Elf. ;)

Author Reply: Thanks, Coriel. I'm very interested in how you are trying to work your way out of glasses as I've had to have them for the last year when I became short-sighted and boy I miss good vision!

Well done. I admit I shy away from writing Legolas, but I think you have captured him in a moment in time, here.

Author Reply: I love Legolas - but I also find him a bit hard to write, generally. I think I worry too much what everyone will think of my interpretation of him. With 100 words I guess I didn't have time to panic ;-)

Nicely done. The drabble and title go together hand-in-glove. This could very well be the stream of Frodo's thoughts as he steps forward. Lovely imagery, how well you evoke Shire life in just a few words!

Author Reply: *grin* I overwrote this, getting all descriptive, and had a terrible time getting it short enough ;-)

Thanks for the feedback.

"Do mortals live always in this silence? I shiver and wonder no longer at the dark grimness of our Men."

Oooh. What a wonderful insight.

Author Reply: Thanks! I actually rather like caves so I really tried to get into Legolas's head - and he came up with that thought ;-)
