Drabble: Bag End at Night

[rabidsamfan]

Darkness and a scream, and stumbling out of bed with one hand trying to wave away spiderwebs and the other seeking a sword before remembering.

Darkness and despair, and a loved voice thick with weariness saying “I’m here,” and the cool glass pressed into his grasp.

Light, so bright it shows through clasped hands and escapes through the gaps between fingers to illuminate the midnight tableaux and glint off tears already drying in the warmth of so much tenderness.

Light, and a crisis safely passed as his master sighs into better dreams, and her hand leading him back to bed.

What a beautiful piece of writing. Your words are like poetry...

Thanks. I'm kind of pleased with the way this turned out. 100 words exactly, if the counting tool in "Word" is to be believed. I didn't think I could do it!

Beautiful.

Thanks. I'm looking at it now and realizing that the third section isn't clear enough -- it's Rosie looking at the two of them -- but I haven't yet figured out how to make the revision.

Oh - it made sense to me!!

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

Oh good! that's a relief... Thank you!

You're welcome! :-)

This is beautiful. I think you've totally captured the essence of nightmares and the fact that love can drive them away. I must say you've definitely got a knack for writing a drabble. :)

This is my first one! I'm glad you liked it.

That was beautiful! It always amazes me how much can be said in just 100 words. You're a wonderful writer. :)

This is so wonderful! You have such a way with words...

I've recently read your "Fourteen Days" and loved it. I hope it's okay that I have friended you, so I can read all of your writings as soon as I'll have some more time. :)

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

Of course you can "friend" me! I'm complimented!

[ethereal-hobbit.livejournal.com]

Glad to hear that! Thanks! :)

'Sno problem!

Anyone who liked "Fourteen Days" is a friend of mine...

(hugs compliments muttering "My preciousessesssesss...")

Goes back to book ordering. How come it's not so much fun spending other people's money when you've got a deadline and you have to live with the choices?
