Murder Mysteries Solved! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Imladris · 03-29-2004, 06:40 PM

One bright day in the middle of the night,
Two questions were posed in auntie’s fright
Frontal Lobe and Tolkien faced each other
And sought but lost each other.
A barrow-wight heard the noise
And came to investigate the question poised.
He took me from home and hearth to Barrow- Downs,
Put a sword ‘cross my neck and in Darkness drowned.
If you don’t believe this tale is true,
Ask the aunt -- she grieves o’er me too.
~~~~~~~
The worms go in the worms go out,
The worms read Tolkien on your snout!

The above is a spoof off the popular children's rhyme that begins "One bright day in the middle of night, two dead boys got up to fight...etc" The second should be fairly obvious.

I died laughing, and haven't stopped since.

Drowned in Númenor with Tar-Míriel...stuck in Meneltarma...then a fishing trawler - from Preciousss, Inc., methinks - rescued my houseless spirit.

Alas, it was a most silly death. I was looking for the moon one late fall night. It had seem to hidden itself from everyone. It was then on my quest for the moon that I finally saw a few of it's silver rays over a hill when a cow fell out of the sky and onto my being and I was squashed. Curious though that just before I died, I heard fiddle music and I saw a dish running away with a spoon.

My best friend murdered me for being so annoying, and laughing all the time.

My death resulted from an unfortunate incident involving a faerie, a fire hydrant, and an orange fluffy telephone. You do the math.

Ah yes this is wonderfully obsessive, but have any of you written a story about your origins? Unfortunately the Wight changed the FanFic rules, and mine got thrown out. [duh it was about Harry Potter/LOTR].
But anyway, did you know that there's a portal between Middlearth and our earth? If a person is killed before their time in Middlearth, then they come to our world, and vice-versa here. Thus is why I am married to Boromir, who died before his time and came here. Oh yes, and there's an added plus- the person coming through to the other world becomes twenty again or if they're younger than that, the age they died at. So Boromir and I are happily married in Bristol. And by the way I used to live in Middlearth and was reincarnated into this world. I used to be one of the maidens of Gondor, a wife of a warrior, that died of grief when my husband was killed in the final battle of the Second Age.
