Poor Pip. I always wonder if, like WW1 soldiers, the pictures of the battle field replay in his nightmares. He's so young to end up in the middle of a war. And I imagine it's easier to distance yourself from a dead orc than it is a dead man.
You paint a vivid and very disturbing image. Bravo for managing that in so few words.

But it's true that Tolkien did see things like that--and so, in some fashion, Pippin did, too.
