Shocked smiley face Scary...but brilliant.

I really don´t like Ungoliant. I suffer from a severe case of arachnophobia, you see. Hiding behind the sofa smiley face

Ooooh! Chilling ... you have some wonderful poetic images there ("Mountains had convulsed") but also (fewer) awkward phrasings (his assumed form). I think, if you wanted, you could tighten this up a bit and make it more poetic, but that might also make it less factual and move your drabble away from the text in which it is so wonderfully rooted. Pardon the back-handed compliment - I did very much enjoy this piece.

Don't mind me... poking around two years later than when this was originally put up. Good thing LotR is more or less frozen in time, persay, yes?

You do have a very poetic imagery that I find appealing. Short pieces of work, it really packs a punch. I would have one suggestion however, and that would be to extend a bit beyond the assumption of who or what an Ungoliant is. Being a bit of an outsider who claims not to have any LotR experience, I can only picture the large spider from the movie, but I do not know if that is the char. in play. 'Bound prey' was my clue. I hope I have your story correct in my vision.

I looked online for more recent work, so if I missed something, feel free to point it out. Nice and compact piece however. I'd be curious what you are writing these days.
