.oOOo.

Eighty casualties and no survivors.
Complete devastation.

The young, their potential never realised.
The old, with still so much to teach.
Some lay horribly broken... others left standing in a mocking parody of life.

All now just empty vessels, their spirits having flown.

Never had Bilbo imagined such wanton, indiscriminate destruction.
Not in his lifetime.
Not in his lands.
Not in his home.

How could thirteen dwarves, even with the help of a wizard, drink so many bottles of wine?

.oOOo.

That's really funny and so fitting!
At first I was so shocked and tried to remember where Bilbo could have seen something awful as that and than that hobbit-ish ending.
great :)

Thanks!
Hobbit angst is defined differently. Life is good if nothing hurts more than a plundered wine cellar. Thank goodness Bilbo was spared the horrors that Frodo experienced.

Lol!! That was brilliant. The ending was completely unexpected and sent me off in a fit of giggles. Nicely done. :D
