I could picture this as I read, due to the description which feels so very rich.

Thank you! There aren't many words to conjure the atmosphere, so I'm delighted you found it effective :-)

Good stuff. Perhaps Saruman's greatest mistake, once he had decided on his course, was to underestimate Gandalf, and Radagast, too.

[azalaisdep]

Ooh, there's a point. Maybe the title is more ambiguous than I thought! :-)

You really made me feel for poor Gandalf's plight here. An excellent drabble.

[azalaisdep]

Thank you, Linda.

This is wonderfully evocative. Well done.

I'm glad you thought so!

Ooooo *shivers* A combination of your well chosen words and a memory of PJ's visuals brings to mind a vivid impression of Gandalf's thoughts at that time.

Nicely done!

[azalaisdep]

Yes, I suspect I'm riffing off the PJ visuals too (which, having gone back to the book, are pretty canon-based at that point and very effective). Glad it made you shiver!
