Racing Darkness: Pippin

This isn't fun anymore. It wasn't exactly fun before, when our ponies got stolen, and when the Black Riders tried to kill us except that we weren't there, and Weathertop was scary more than it was exciting but it didn't hurt at least it didn't hurt me, and now all I can think about is how much my feet sting on the road and won't there please be a verge to walk on instead, and why do my legs hurt so much from walking when I've had to walk most places ever since I was born, except for when I was riding?

That's such an interesting look at it all from Pippin's point of view. It seems very much like him to speak in one long sentence.

Thanks. I had fun "channelling" his comments.

I really liked these four drabbles from the different points of view. It really shows how different they are and how their feelings are (mostly) the same at that moment.

Yes; Tolkien doesn't go into much detail about that forced march, but they must have all started reaching "the wall" somewhere in there.

Thanks

Weathertop was scary more than it was exciting but it didn't hurt at least it didn't hurt me...

LOL!! Ah, Pippin... gotta love honesty. :p

Heh heh! Glad you enjoyed it!

I like the run-on sentence that is Pippin's thoughts. And that is a very good question! I've often thought it myself actually...

Me too! *rubs feet that are sore after long day*

Thanks!
