I enjoyed the opening line especially ("There are, he supposes, tunnels..."); it catches the reader unaware and leaves things unexplained, as does much of the piece and the thought of Theoden's later life itself.

That's great! I don't know if you're aware, though, but your story is in the French part of the site...

Oh I always love your so called drabble.

This was a great light shone on how Theoden felt to awaken.

Yay, you fixed it. -

Dark, creepy, and beautiful. I like how you started with "There are, he supposes, tunnels..." Somehow that just works. All very interesting, though...I never would have thought Théoden could inspire a piece like this. Quite lovely.

Oh, well done. Possible typo though, and if not a typo, opacity that doesn't fit with the form: "He thinks he reminds this." Theoden's quote may have been better off italicized, but that's a very minor note.

Aw! Theoden! Now I want to steal Theodred and write something. You are contagious to me, my friend, even if I cannot spell.

Very good!
