A great imaginative piece. And Martin Shaw reading The Silmarillion - I must look that one out.LBJ

I remember you showing me this some time before and it's as chilling to read a second time as it was the first. What strikes me the most is the clinical nature of the narrative, as if some historian from a remote future were writing this for his thesis. The matter-of-factness of the words and their tone make it all the more chilling. Great job!

Author Reply: You were the first one besides myself to see this piece, and even now, months later, it still gives me the chills that I could have written it. Thanks for reading it again!

A far different resurrection, this one--one leading not to greater life but to corruption of the living; to grief rather than to delight.

Author Reply: I hadn't really looked at this in comparison to the Easter ficlets, but you are right. *shudder* I still don't know why my muse gave me this one... but thank you for reading it!

Yikes! Never thought that his body would be still laying there! Grosses me out. They should have, like the Rohirrim, burned it!

Author Reply: I really don't know why the body wasn't burned or why it remained intact after all that time... it's just the way the images in my head showed it. *shudder*

Although I know that I certainly would not have wanted to have handled it even to set it on a pyre!

Thanks for reading!

Great pace and tone. I like this remote, detached description.

Author Reply: Thank you! I don't know if I could repeat this style, but it's the way the words flowed. I wasn't sure if anyone would really want to read it, but posted anyway. Thank you for your kind words.

*Shudder* Wow...this evoked strong images in my mind, I could see it all...*shudders, again*

Powerful, very powerful Rhyselle. Very good...very scary!!!

Author Reply: I wasn't sure how this would be taken. It was very odd to write, as I normally don't write in this style. Very creepy and I was glad to get it scribbled out and out of my head!
