Title: A Life of a Nazgûl (#1835)
Author: TrissMarigold
Chapters: 1

Archive: Tolkien
Category: Lord of the Rings
Description: A Nazgûl’s life, it's not all what it's cracked up to be. You dreamed about fame and glory, power and strength, with a touch of adventure and thrill. And what did you get? Side effect of writing a drabble for the OSA Drabble Challenge #6, Tragic guy. I have such a hard time writing serious stories; I couldn’t help myself and peered into Khamûl’s thoughts again. Khamûl, before therapy. A drabble.

Chapter 1 - The meaning of life

Khamûl sighed. Where were the rangers that patrolled this area? Who would cower in fear before him if the lands were deserted? He shook his head, dejected. The good times were no longer. Even his favorite brothel in Minas Tirith was no longer. Not that he could enjoy its services since he had gotten the promotion and left the ranks of the living, point is – this life was getting boring. His journeys were utterly uneventful.
Suddenly, three men jumped out at him from behind rocks. They stood still for a moment then one said,

"Oh. Sorry. We thought you were someone else."

Terry Pratchett's fans might recognize his influence on this drabble (Discworld series, "Guards! Guards!").
