GHOSTS OF MORDOR

Neither said he wanted to go to Mordor but here they were.

The mountains still guarded the black land on three sides, but all of Sauron’s gates were gone. Mount Doom lay quiet now. Puffs of dark smoke rose from its depths every now and again. Barad-dûr was nothing but rubble now, what of it that hadn’t been completely destroyed by the volcano when it erupted.

“Can you feel them still, lad?” Gimli asked his elven companion.

“I can almost make out their whispers,” Legolas answered in a low voice.

They rode on, leaving the ghosts of Mordor behind them.

Summary: Fingon knows he will die.

~~~

DEFEATED IN VICTORY

Fingon, the High King of the Noldor, beloved and kind, wise and gentle, stood before the most horrible of all beings, Gothmog, Balrog of Morgoth. He knew it was over before it began. He did not dread the pain. He did not fear death. He felt sorrow for his people but he knew his suffering would soon end.

The Balrog laughed at the man before him. “You shall die!” He could not strike down the elf though, not until one of his companions came from behind and held him in a steely embrace. Gothmog struck, killing him quickly. He sought to draw from Fingon’s fear and pain. But there was no fear. The elf smiled at the last moment, then was gone.

Gothmog was so furious that he began to beat the dead body, imagining at every blow that Fingon laughed at him from above. He beat the body until there was little left but dust and a few metal buttons from his clothing. He beat the ground until even the buttons were ground to dust as well.

He still heard laughing. He had won the battle, won the war but he was defeated! Damn Fingon! Damn him to hell!

Summary: Moria is quiet but not deserted.

~~~

THE RESTLESS DEAD

Moria was quiet. The Orcs had gone after Sauron was defeated. The dwarves had given up on restoring Moria to its former glory. The elves were almost gone from Middle Earth entirely. The mines were in ruins, as were the halls and rooms in the upper parts.

Moria was not uninhabited though. If living beings had been there, they might have seen them, the spirits of the dead.

There was no peace. There was no ending. They were trapped there for as long as Middle Earth existed. They roamed Moria’s interior endlessly, silently, seeking…

Seeking a rest that never came.

Summary: Sam is scared, very, very scared.

~~~

Ancient Evil

He’d heard Gandalf mention them, but he’d thought they were simply a tale told to scare the little ones at night. Living in the Shire as he did, Sam had not seen a lot of things other than his fellow hobbits. He’d said when they started out he wanted to see oliphants and he still wanted to, but this thing, this werewolf – he wished he could unsee it.

It stood on two legs like a man or a hobbit but that was where the similarities ended. It was covered in fur and he could smell its stench from where he hid behind some bushes. It turned and sniffed the air, its long teeth showing even in the dim light. Sam was shivering so hard that he knew the awful thing could hear him!

It turned its head to the sky and howled, a long haunting sound that reminded Sam of all the evil he’d ever heard of. Sam opened his mouth to scream and –

He woke up! It was only a dream. Thank goodness!

Then he heard it. That horrible howl. Gandalf told the truth. There were werewolves out there. He clutched his sword close and waited until daylight came.

THE RAIN STILL FELL

The rain fell.

And fell.

He thought it was fit that the earth should cry as much as he had. His heart was as gray and cold as the sky. He held the umbrella in his hand, though the rain fell so hard that it did little to keep him dry.

“We should go now…”

“You’ll catch pneumonia…”

“You need to rest…”

He walked away, not saying a word. He’d always gone his own way, done his own thing. He wasn’t about to stop now. He owed Bones that much. Hell, he owed him everything.

And the rain still fell.

~~~

ALL A DREAM

The bike was old, his bike. But there wasn’t any rust and the seat was still supple and soft as if new. He looked around and noticed other things. The buildings were newer than he remembered them being. There was grass growing in the field beside the building, not the garbage and weeds he’d seen there yesterday.

Then he saw the boy. He recognized the hair, the jeans…

What the hell?

Then the woman came outside. “Dean, don’t go too far. Your dad will be home soon.”

He awoke, felt hot tears on his cheek. He missed their mother still…

OLDER THAN DIRT

Steve and Bucky were watching the Dodgerss play baseball on TV.

“Remind me when they moved to California?”

“1957.”

“God, we’re old. Do the others seem like kids to you?”

“Yeah. With those damn phones and tablets. We were lucky to get to use a phone on the corner.”

Bucky laughed and punched Steve on the shoulder. “We sure are fun, aren’t we? My granny was livelier than we are.”

“Your granny was livelier than we were then, too, Buck!”

“Wanna order some pizza and watch a movie after the game?”

“Iron Man?”

Bucky laughed and nodded. “I’m not surprised!”

NEW HOME, OLD MEMORIES

Sam walked from one end of the house to the other, looking in this cupboard and that, checking the pantry and looking out the front window. Though he’d been here countless times, this was the first time he’d been here since it belonged to him. He and Rosie would move here soon, as soon as they got everything packed.

First, he had to store the last of Frodo and Bilbo’s things.

He picked the book and read. Tomorrow would be a better day to pack up anyway, he thought as he got lost in his own memories of the past.

A HUNK OF JUNK

“I still think this ship is a hunk of junk,” Leia told Han.

“Even after all the rescues?” Han looked offended.

She shook her head. “Because of the rescues! I never know if we’re going to make it or not.”

“That’s part of the fun.”

She just sighed and looked out the viewport.

“Rather have Lando rescue you?”

“No! He’d come in this ship, too. He’d steal it back from you.”

“So you like me then?” He grinned that lopsided, irresistible grin.

She leaned into his arms. “Of course I do, you silly man.”

“I knew you’d see reason eventually.”

A DAMN GOOD HUNTER

Dean had taken to talking to Bobby when no one was around. He didn’t know if their old friend and mentor could hear him or not. It didn’t matter. Just talking to Bobby made him feel better.

Listening to Dean made Bobby anxious. That boy was ten different kinds of trouble and that was on a good day! How could one boy be so damned reckless? Didn’t he ever think of his own safety?

Bobby smiled at his companion. “He’s like you, John. A damn good hunter and a careless idjit.”

John Winchester laughed out loud. “That’s my boy, Bobby.”

FIND OF A LIFETIME

It sat in a museum, behind a climate controlled glass. It was dirty and ragged. After all, it had floated in space for at least a century before it had been found by Zack Allen, IV, a private security expert who was traveling to meet a client near Epsilon III, where the old Babylon 5 station had once been.

He’d showed it to his wife.

“Can it be the one?”

“It has to be. As far as I know, there was only one spaced.”

The bear with JS on it sold for a billion credits and Zack never worked again.

MISSION OF DESTINY

Han Solo knew smuggling. He might not be the best smuggler in the galaxy but it was his business. He knew these two were dangerous, more dangerous than any cargo he’d carried so far.

They looked like two country bumpkins, but the older one was canny and more than a little secretive. The boy was still wet behind the ears.

They offered way too much money for the job. He’d have done it for half that amount and he was sure the old man knew it.

Were they crazy? Of course they were. Still…

“Meet me in Docking Bay 94...”

VOTE FOR…

“Sammy, are we voting this year?” Dean asked his brother as they sat at the table in the Men of Letters hideout. They were eating takeout burgers and drinking sugary Cokes.

“It’s an election year?”

“Yep. I don’t think they show The Apprentice that many times a day on tv, so they must be campaign ads.”

“You mean he is running for president?” Sammy asked.

Dean laughed. “Wonder if they know he works for Crowley?”

“No shit?” Sammy knew that Dean knew things about the King of Hell.

“Wait ‘til I tell you who the other one is working for!’

Just a Quick Hello

Tony was moody and hard to get along with but that was okay because he’d holed up in his house and wasn’t taking calls or seeing anyone.

His phone rang and he checked it. The phone he’d given Steve.

“Stark here.”

“Are you all right?” Steve’s voice made him shiver.

“Why wouldn’t I be?”

“The news says you’re not. Nat says you’re not.”

“I – what can I say? You left. You -”

“I still love you.”

“Damn you to hell, Steve. I love you too.”

“I’ll call again soon. Take care, Tony. No matter what, I’ll love you.”

“I know.”

VACATION

Arwen stood in the kitchen and stated at the woodstove. What was she supposed to do with it? She could make remedies and even still do a little magic, but she had no idea how to make dinner on this, this stove!

Why did Ellessar insist on coming to this little hut in the woods two or three times a year? They had everything they needed at home. He had no real need to hunt and fish and swim in that cold, cold pond.

The children loved coming here though. They followed their father everywhere.

He could bake the bread!

DOCTORS IN LOVE

The new ship was ready in record time. Bones hoped they didn’t manage to destroy another one anytime soon. He kept telling himself that he should have stayed on Earth, found another girl to marry and opened a practice in one of those throwback towns where they lived like they had in the 20th century.

But he knew he’d never be happy there.

As much as he complained, he craved adventure. He loved seeing new life forms, new planets. He loved the frantic pace of the Enterprise and her crazy crew.

But more than anything, he loved James T. Kirk.

“Do you think it’s still there?” Kaylee asked Mal.

“What would that be, Kaylee?” Mal turned to look at her.

“Earth That Was.”

He thought a moment. “Probably is. Take away the folks and the animals and all you got is a rock. Pretty hard to destroy a rock that big.”

“Do you ever wish you could go there?” She asked.

“What’s got you so ponderous tonight?”

“Don’t know. Just thinkin’ about where we come from.”

“As opposed to where we’re going?”

Kaylee laughed. “I don’t have an answer for either of those. Do you?”

He shook his head. “Nope.”

GHOSTS

His ghosts were loud tonight.

They weren’t really ghosts, but Dean was haunted by the past, by his bad choices and his good ones. He was haunted by their dad, by Sammy, by Bobby, all the other ones who were gone whether he was responsible or not.

He sat up on the side of the bed. Sammy was snoring gently in the other bed.

He drained a half empty beer from the table then poured a tall glass of bourbon, downed it too.

“Dean? You okay?”

“Sure, Sammy. Go back to sleep. I’m okay now.”

And he was.

For now.

THE WATERING HOLE

Every place has secrets and the old watering hole was no exception. The ghosts of the boys who’d died there that awful night never rested, calling out to swimmers still. Everyone thought it creepy but harmless.

They thought that until boys started disappearing, only to be found dead a few days later downstream. They all look as if they’d died of fright, sightless eyes wide and mouths open in a silent scream.

One of the townspeople has met some boys once who said they were hunters. He’d thought it a joke at the time.

“Dean Winchester? We need your help.”

LOST IN THE WOODS

They’d promised to meet at the wilderness campsite in a state park that was pretty much like it had been a hundred and fifty years ago when white men first saw it. The only difference was the road that ran through it.

Viggo got there at the appointed time, but no Sean. He didn’t think much of it and began shooting photos as he did everywhere. Three hours later and still no Sean.

He pushed down the panic and searched until he heard him. “Where are you?”

Viggo dropped his camera and ran, lifting Sean off his feet.

“Damn you!”
