Marta, this collection is chilling and bittersweet at once. You are indeed a master drabbler: you had the hair standing up on my arms with just 100 words! (It would have taken me, oh, at least 1000! Times four! :^D)

Thank you for posting this here. I'm afraid that I'm falling for my own challenge and there are Second Age bunnies all around my feet right now. And, yes, I blame you a little bit for this. ;) Maybe if I hold really still, they won't realize I'm here ...
