Drabble

[fellbeastie]

I'm working on a series of Pippin drabbles focusing on the five senses. Here's the first one:


Sound

Elven voices fill the air with song, but they cannot drown out Pippin’s memory.

Moria was deathly silent; but for the Company’s footfalls, there was nothing to be heard. After a few hours in that cavern of nothingness, Pippin wanted to scream, just to hear a living voice.

Mallorn leaves rustle in the wind. Snapping twigs remind Pippin of the stone he dropped in the well, and it’s horrific consequences.

The Orcs’ tapping hammers, and harsh shrieking, still echo in his soul. He dropped that stone because he needed to hear something. Now he longs for silence.


Reviews would be much appreciated. :)

I can imagine that the eerie silence would have been very difficult for all of them. That's very interesting, to write a drabble for each of the 5 senses. I'm looking forward to reading the next four :)

I got the idea from someone else who did five sense-ficlets that were absolutely beautiful. Different fandom, though.

The next four will be coming soon.
