A quick drabble about what Arda would look like without Melkor's influence. I'm tempted to file this under "horror". ;)

Eerie....I think this could definitely go under "horror," haha!

It's interesting to think about what Arda "unmarred" would look like, given how it's lack is lamented...but as you write here, it doesn't seem like a great place to live! For all it's lack of tragedy and torment, it seems like it would also lack delight. Leaving mostly apathy...

Great story! Definitely food for thought here :)
