I hardly know what to say! To a story so rich in lyricism and baubled with description where words themselves become the road to, the tool of, and the reliquary of power - amazing!

You have not only revived Tolkien's characters here you have perfectly created the roads by which the travelled into those pages. I am in awe of your vision of Grima - you lay the seeds of all the strengths and weaknesses of character by which he is more commonly known, and with compassion and equinimity.

Lackwit - your name fits you ill.

A wonderfully sympathetic view of Grima and how he chose his own downfall.

The explanation of how he became one of Theoden's advisors is well thought out.

The use of language in this story is simply lovely.

I'm looking forward to reading more of your work.

A well thought of plot... made me shudder a bit. Women is the cause of men's downfall... hehe... *ducks all feminists worldwide*

Seriously, your flow of language is poetic and lyrical....(can that be in the same sentece?)

Ditto, loved it...in a disturbed kinda way.

This is so good. So intense. I love the name that Eowyn gives to Grima....and then we know what is he called latterly do we not?

I can't really add much to what others have said above, but I'll add my 'well done' to theirs. Smile smiley face

This is an excellent short story, very well built and richly detailed. The characters are all portrayed very well in a tight space- Eowyn's passion, Eomer's temper, Theoden's wisdom- with just a few words doing so much. A great choice for story of the day. Thank you for it.

Wonderful... rich in language and imagery, thrilling and haunting at the same time. Would you allow me to translate this into german? My site is here:

A truly outstanding filler. You have done a wonderful job here, opening a glimpse of what he was before the turn. Quite plausible. Thank you for sharing.
