100 Drabble Challenge

by Overlord Rousdower

I have joined in the fun! In true Rousdower style, this will feature elves galore, hilarity, no-so-funny angst, and general weirdness! This will probably be good to read if you're really bored LOL (or if you like my writing... *hint hint*) There may be random non-LotR stuff, that is yet to be determined. This description and title is subject to change. K plus to be safe.

4. Plants

Plants: Humor Version

"Plants iz stupid."

Sam frowned. "And what's brought this on?"

"There is too many plants here, gollum gollum," Gollum grumbled.

"I think it's beautiful," Sam said proudly.

Gollum looked pointedly over at the headless statue nearby. "No it's not, precious. Rocks and bones is beautiful. Plants are green and noisy… they makes us trip, gollum."

Sam rolled his eyes. "Whatever. Mr. Frodo, what do you think about plants?"

"Hmm?" Frodo looked up from the ring with glazed eyes. "Oh, they're… green. And very nice, I suppose. Though, nothing quite matches the green of the Shire…" Frodo regressed into angsty reminiscing.

Gollum giggled to himself. "We bets the Precious doesn't like plantses."

"Oh shut it, you sneak…"

"Oh, stupid fat hobbtses thinks I sneak does it?" Gollum taunted.

"Oh there's no doubt about it," Sam muttered.

"Gollum, gollum. How did the stupid fat hobbitses put it? Oh yes, we remembers… Whatever." Gollum crept away through the undergrowth he so protested.

"You should be nicer to him, Sam," Frodo said half-heartedly.

"Nicer? To someone who doesn't like plants?"

oOoOoOoOoOo

Plants: Angst Version

Sauron stared out the window, gaze sweeping over the barren wasteland that he now referred to as 'home'. Mordor was anything but a home. It was a charred wasteland, sometimes freezing, sometimes sweltering; unsuitable for anything but the foul creatures who served him. And even then, barely so.

He hadn't wanted this. He had wanted a living kingdom, green and growing. Melkor wanted something completely different: life blotted from the world. So, he had forced Sauron to destroy the land, burning and killing any potential. A distant memory crawled it's way back through the Dark Lord's mind.

"Sauron, you mustn't let them grow. It speaks of weakness and we are not weak. Growth of life is detrimental to the goal, any growth but that of our power is inexcusable." Melkor turned to glare down at him. "Do you understand?"

And now he could barely remember the last time he had even seen grass.

Sauron winced at the memory. The time with his Master had not been in any way a happy time… But it had gotten him at least part of what he wanted, and for that, he supposed, he should be thankful.

A/N: Ssssooooo… I wrote two for this one, because ten words into the first one I had the idea for the second and couldn't just throw it away. I find Sauron a very interesting character, and I think sometimes people forget that Mordor was not really how he wanted it to be, which I find fascinating *looks shmart* really the whole 'ruined' was Melkor's thing. I also seem to remember Mordor being referred to as cold in the book, but I couldn't remember so I put in both… AND WOW GUYS! SO MANY REVIEWS! THANK YOU! I mean these are just drabbles, but it's getting such great feedback \(*o*)/ NOW VOTE PEOPLE. WHICH DID YOU PREFER?
