| This is great. I liked the use of language and just the description of Sauron's lieutenant's transformation. |

Ooo, I liked this a lot! I agree with Picara; the way you descibe him is brilliant. It´s amazing how easy it was for me to 'see' him even though it was such a short piece.
Also, it´s good to be reminded of the fact that he once was just a man.
Very good job, indeed!  |

| Ditto. I liked his fall from a man to Sauron's servant. Great job. |

| Wow, this is impressive. I really love when the tragedy of the downfall is conveyed so poetically. It makes it so much harder to hate characters like Annatar, Khamul, Maeglin, etc, when they are assigned a bit of the humanity (or godhood, etc.) that they once held. Adds a whole new element to any story to realize that there but for the grace of Eru... Haunting, tragic and lovely. |

| Great drabble. The last line was particulary impactful. It hard to think of the Nazgul as once great kings but they were. |
