Gothmog is my own character, though the idea for him comes from J.R.R. Tolkien's LOTR trilogy.

I humble myself before thee, oh great wise author.

Last one was Sam.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I sit silently by the fire.

There is another.

Not a halfling this time.

Oh no, far worse.

They say he breathes smoke

It comes in different shapes

To touch one of these shapes, or to smell one will kill you

He carries a tree with him everywhere,

One that burns and burns, but never dies out.

They say he can fly

And sneak up on you from behind

There is no fighting such a foe unless you are a nazgul.

I am not.

I am scared, real scared

Will you hold me?
