ekaterinnIt's been a good Sunday: my friend Olivia got back from Germany and brought me German chocolate. We ended up hanging out all day - kinda basking in the unusually cool August weather. And then I watched some Starsky & Hutch, feeding my detective show craving now that I'm almost done with the first two seasons of dueSouth. *grins*
And now I've got another of the drabble requests written. (And feel free to request a drabble of your own - just comment on the original entry.)

buddyblue82, who wanted Strider, sword, grief:
Strider sat by the fire, his sword lying beside him in easy reach. The flames were dancing high, but he had no inclination to dampen the fire. In a world where the darkness was creeping up like a persistent weed, tendril by tendril, a little light could not hurt. Middle Earth was choked, and it would take battle and blood to free it again.
He grieved for the land, for the sky, for the people. Much would be lost. But he would not admit that he grieved for himself, for the loss of freedom and the forest. In the morning, he would pretend that he could cast Strider off like a cloak, and head to the east.
