A Troll’s Lament

excerpt from “The Lord of the Rings: the Fellowship of the Ring”

Do you see the neck chain the orcs fastened? Did I shout for joy as they collared me? Could I count on you to free me?

No. Skewar, more’s like. But I’m the bad guy!

scapegoat

on our hands

    I was waiting for someone to take the Lord of the Rings (or Harry Potter) take on trolls. Nicely done.

    Maybe with blood on your hands you are more than a scapegoat.
