Being a Mean Widdle Kid

My daughter, bless her little pointed head, has come up with a wonderful idea that will both help support the US Post Office financially (at no cost to her) and also take a small swipe at the banks and credit card companies who have caused the huge mess this country - and indeed much of the world - is now suffering through. I'm certain some of us have done something similar at one time or another, but I'd like to think that maybe this little pebble could start an avalance that will finally get the attention of those shysters:

Aearwen's LIttle Bits - a double-drabble: Once Treasured

This is the result of a plot bunny that worried me, munched down on my ankle, pushed me into writing over 1000 words of a short story - only to decide it wanted to fit itself into a double-drabble instead. What I'm gonna do with the 1000+ words of short story is anybody's guess; at this point, I could turn it into a piece of original fiction, as I've not touched on anything that clearly belongs to Tolkien's legendarium. OK, so if someone were really literate on the descriptions of the setting, they might be able to noodle out exactly where this is taking place - but it would be only with circumstancial evidence.

I may just do that.

In the meanwhile, however, enjoy:
