#57 Anyone of Us
As the small band sped through the night, each wrapped up in their own grief, even the usually sure footed and graceful elf stumbling over the irregular terrain a single thought ran through their minds, linking them together with an unseen thread. 'Gandalf is gone'. The unthinkable had happened and they were cast adrift in a sea of uncertainty and loss. Gandalf, Mithrandir, friend, mentor and ever present anchor had been left behind in the great chasm of Moria. Yet as each heart felt it would break, a new, almost treacherous thought, spun its web through the fellowship. 'If Gandalf is gone it could happen to anyone of us' and the darkness in their midst gloated as seeds of doubt, unease and indecision began to take root and grow.

You never know, I may just be able to write a true 100 word drabble at some point. I tried hard with this one but just couldn't get rid of 24 words no matter what I did. Must try harder !
