Disturbing and powerful, much like its subject.

Túrin is not a happy man. :(

Ah! That is a punch in the gut (or cursed sword...), I love it.

Thanks. I would think that after everything that happened to him, the end might have come as a relief.

Very powerful piece - the feeling of aching darkness, of fate inescapable, is almost suffocating.

Nice to see this from you, too. *g*

Thanks, Min. :)

His story really is just unremittingly grim. I need to write something less dour next time just to set my brain back in balance.

This was so well crafted. What a sad and sobering vivid image.

Thank you. I have always been extremely disturbed by that sword...

Foolish words, too, based on Turin's track record; and certainly, the sword ends up broken...

Love how you have managed to include all the words so seamlessly.

Thanks-- tying in the words were the only "fun" part of telling this otherwise morbid tale. Happier subject matter next time, I hope!
