Drabble - Worse than Mordor

Remember that tree, Mr. Frodo? It had the sweetest apples in the Shire. And that shed there, it’s right in the place where the daffydowndillys always bloomed come spring. The well’s been fouled – something’s dead down there and please don’t let it be Lotho. Though probably ‘tis. Saruman had to know we were coming. He’s left his filth smeared on the kitchen floor, and there’s not a bite of food nor drop of drink in Bag End I’d trust not to be poisoned.

You go along back to Farmer Cotton’s, and let me get started. I’ll make it right.

Somehow.

Oh, Sam.... the essence of Sam, really. This is wonderful. (BTW, saw your drabble in Mary's challenge, and it is great!)

*hugs and hopes that you'll find a new place with a payable rent*

I did one for red panda's challenge too.

(That's so I can find it later, you know.)

Some of those drabbles and ficlets are just shattering, aren't they?

I'm glad you liked this one!

I got there through your link and yes, they are shattering. I got goosebumps reading them. I'm trying to write one for Mary, but I keep getting distracted. :) I've read yours too, in redpanda and Mary's lj... Breathtaking, as always.
