again I'm reminded of one of the reasons I love Tolkien's body of works as a whole, the strength and consistancy - the completeness that runs through it all. - the differences and the similarities of Ungoliant and Shelob, that to write about Shelob's brooding malice and hunger reflects back on Ungoliant herself,

I never wanted to think that Shelob really died. It is much more mysterious and exciting to think that she recovered from her wounds and lived on to stalk the mountain caves. The Fourth Age would indeed be boring if it were devoid of all magic and all fantastical creatures faded away into the mists of time. Good show!

A very disturbing (in a good way) and perfectly formed drabble.
Great work!
