In response to
moit's Froday Flash challenge using the words pumpkin, spider web, spooky, ghost, bloody, I bring you a Too Long to Wait drabble:
"Calm down, son," Aragorn said. "It is but a tiny spider web!"
Ellohir flailed his arms, hopping about in a panic.
"Ellohir!" Frodo grabbed Ellohir by the upper arm. "Stop. It is the tiniest of webs. You're a big five-year-old boy who will be King of Gondor one day. You cannot fear a spider the size of a pea. Come now, the pumpkin is waiting to be carved. Let us make something spooky out of it!"
"Can we carve a ghost?" Ellohir asked, his flailing forgotten. "A bloody one?"
Frodo smiled. "Certainly! Let's go get a sharp butcher knife!"
