A look into some of the most pointless existences of Middle Earth. [Mostly OCs slightly OOC. 10 drabble-like things. A bit depressing at first. Some language on Sauron's account.] Finis and Edited.

The Meaning of LIfe by Tyalie

Again, there was that great gap between chapter update. However, be cheered! I have vowed to finish this story before my 15th birthday, that is, September 7th. There are two chapters to go, including this one.

IIIIIIIIIIIIII

#3 Sauron, Evil Overlord

Speaking for The Eye of Sauron is The Mouth of Sauron:

I have been searching for that damn ring so long I forgot what I was going to do with it once I got it back. Sure, I might take over the world and enslave all of mankind, but then what? Storm Valinor, I suppose... but then I'd hit the Walls of the World: another dead end. There's always the east... but I think those lands already pay tribute to me... I could just sit up here all day and do... nothing? I'd sooner die of boredom. No, literally. Except, dammit, I can't die.

IIIIIIIIIIIIII

Sigh, I don't think Sauron's that funny. Well I do, but I can't say why yet because thats for another, better fic. Oh right, some background. The Walls of the World are, guess what, the ends of the earth. West of Valinor. Yeah, who'da thunk it?

Now for one you guys have been waiting for...

IIIIIIIIIIIIII

#2 Arthar, Beacon Lighter

Day 227:

Nothing.

Day 228:

Nothing. It's bloody freezing up here.

Day 229:

Nothing. I wish we could light the fire just for a little while.

Day 230:

Nothing. Pal said no. Not even a spark. Why'd I ever apply for this job?

Day 231:

Nothing. I don't get it, are we actually up here just in case ?

Day 232:

Are we even fighting anymore? Oh, Nothing, by the way.

Day 233:

Nothing. Pal bets that they forgot we are even up here.

Day 234:

And now for something completely different, Nothing. I tried communicating with the guys on the other mountain peak by smoke signal. It didn't work.

Day 235:

No-- wait, those other guys are waving and shouting at us. No fair! They got to light a fire!

IIIIIIIIIIIIII

Don't get me wrong, my blood was rushing with elation watching that scene in RotK. But that little voice in the back of my head couldn't resist saying, "Those poor people up there." But I loved it, absolutely loved it. Pal should be pronounced similar to 'Paul'.

Next chapter.... due the 7th! AND YOU'LL LOVE IT. This chapter edited 09.10.04
