Chapter 1 - Between a Rock and A Hard Place

“I do not know which to hope,” said Boromir grimly: “... All choices seem ill, and to be caught between wolves and the wall the likeliest chance.”

Boromir’s words echoed through his mind as he faced the hungry howls in the dark

If only it were that simple! a wall I could handle…. I could handle anything but that… that thing!

The memory returned, his body shaking with terror. He could almost feel the snake-like tentacles crawling across his skin.

No I’ll be a wargs dinner before I go back there!

Bravely Bill stepped out into the darkness towards home.


*************************

A/N
Boromirs quote at the beginning comes from FOTR 'A Journey in the Dark'

I hope this fits into the challenge... I was thinking a bit laterally.
