Oh my, this is fabulous! Of course there's always the other view ... and hers is so desperately tragic.

Clever use of the prompts.

I really appreciate this perspective on Ungoliant! Even dreadful dark spider-monsters can have introspective moments, and you've made this so elegant and believable. I love the elements of the spider-ladder and how this is her weaving and creation -- and she resents the weaver for taking the name rightfully hers. Oh, Ungoliant! How sad, to know your fate. Lovely!
