good drabble...dark and deep...I particularly liked this bit.
Hope runs behind us – arms, palms, hands outstretched
Very creative.

Cheers!

Brilliant -- as always. How is it possible for a drabble to contain so much? Most impressive!

I especially loved "Hope is a dead tree". Wonderful, yet oh so depressive.

Wow! this was very thought provoking.

Excellent drabble, loved your choice of words, loved the idea of 'hope running behind with outstretched arms' - BRILLIANT PIECE OF WRITING Very Happy smiley face

Great! One of the best drabbles I've ever read. It's more like poetry. And I love the last line about the tree. Smile smiley face

Oh............. What was that line, "Abandon all hope, all who enter here" ? Indeed, sometimes it must have seemed that to hope was counter-productive at best... Wonderful, darling!

Ok, I feel a bit confused here, somewhere I kept on thinking, this is Éomer, contemplating that he has to leave Éowyn behind, but the line about the three made me reconsider that. It must be Faramir, but, pray tell, who is the she?

'Hope is a wish that turns care to caution'....Dark though this is, I really liked it. You capture such mixed emotions in so few words. Hopelessness, yes, in a way..that Faramir believes it better to have left 'her' behind - but in so doing it seems he thinks there is more 'hope' of succeeding in what he is about to attempt. And the sense of Boromir and Denethor is subtle, yet very effective.
