Murder Mysteries Solved! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

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.

Ah, such fine tails of.. um.. deadness!

As for me, my death was caused by my cursed glasses. As my sig will tell you, I am (or rather, was) one of the few nearsighted elves!

I was out on a walk in the forest one day with some friends when we heard a noise in the bushes to our right.

"Be on your guard," said my friend Pherdaciliel. I looked all around, but could see nothing.

Blaming this on my dirty lenses, I removed my glasses and wiped them with the hem of my cape. At this precise moment, an army of Elvis impersonators leaped out of the bushes, riding upon ferocious giant squirrels. Shooting deadly black rubber combs, they leapt over our heads and surrounded us. One of the squirrels hit the back of my head, sending my glasses to the ground.

Now everything was fuzzy. I let out a stream of unladylike words as I fumbled for my glasses, rubbing the back of my head. The Elvis impersonators, who were the sworn enimies of my clan for thier late-night parties, dug the heels of their blue suede shoes into the flanks of the squirrels and charged again. Sun glinted off of the jeweled white eagle suits, blinding me. My last vision of life was the deadly black comb spinning towards my face, and the sparkle of ivory squirrel talons reaching for my throat.

Eventually I found myself at the Downs, with "You Ain't Nothing But A Hound Dog" stuck in my head. Wierd...

Love me tender

How did I die. Hmmmmm, I've died so many times that I seem to have lost track of them all. There was that locker at school, and the kid with the pen, and all of those very suspicious looking fellows in that dark alley that I just happened to wander into.... Oh! And that time when I fell in a whole and it happened to be filled with ferocious wild gars! That was thrilling....

I was on holiday in Numenor and the king suddenly emptied the island and sailed off to valinor. I went for a look around and found Sauron laughing his head off in the throne room and i decided that i diddn't like him, so I shot him. he promptly fled to Middle Earth and tried to follow him, but the Island exploded and I went flying so far that I hit a tombstone in the Barrowdowns and died in the prossess
