| This is fantastic, from the opening with all its gruesome but vivid imagery, to the end with its surprising arrival. You have a knack for setting the scene, for minimalizing the angst. Oh sure, you could have lingered over his feelings until emotion dripped from every word, but this sparse, clinicial treatment was, I think, even more effective. This is what honed Aragorn into the character we've come to know. And it makes perfect sense. |

| I agree with Viv here. This is a perfectly executed short story, heart-breaking without being overdone. Not a word wasted here. Excellent. Thank you very much for sharing. |
