Can we post more than one per day? Hope so because I need to get rid of this one before it bends my mind too far.

B2MeM Challenge: Bingo – I16, B8, G57, I25, N42, G58, O71, B15, I27, G59. Cause Of Death

Rating: Gen
Warnings: Spider (definitely dead)
Characters: Sam & Rosie's children

I don't own any characters in this fic. They all belong to JRR Tolkien.

G.amgee C.riminal I.nvestigation S.ervice

Hamfast poked at the spider husk. “Wonder how it died.”

Rose considered. “Accident? Fell off a wall?”

Merry grinned. “Suicide? Jumped off a wall.”

“Nah,” Primrose announced. “It dehyrolated.”

Daisy sniffed. “Dehydrated! And it rained this morning.”

“Then it drownded,” Ruby asserted.

“Shot with an arrow?” Daisy suggested tentatively. They all laughed. An arrow would leave a hole.

“Maybe it bled to death,” Pippin offered gleefully before adding uncertainly, “Do spiders have blood?”

Goldilocks jumped up, proud in her one-up-man-ship on her siblings. “It was WAR! I saw Ma whack it with her hair brush.”

“Isn’t that murder?” asked Pippin.

You can do as many as you want to! Fics are like potato chips...you can't read just one!

Yay! The bingo ones are beginning to pile up on my hard drive but other folks deserve a fair airing so I'm forcing myself not to splurge. My problem is that I lurve drabbles and one word prompts lend themselves so well to that format.

*giggles* The Gamgees are on the case!

Maybe they could make a follow up series to NCIS?

Most of my writing is angst ridden but for some reason I've hit a patch of silly drabbles. Glad this made you laugh. :)

ROTFL!!!!!!

Hee, this is a fun story.

[elwenlj.livejournal.com]

I can do fun . . . sometimes. Thanks for reading. :D

I love ficlets that are mainly dialogue like this. I can just see them all gathered around, debating the demise of the poor spider.

Absolutely . . . all hunkered down in a circle and Mam looking out the window wondering what they're up to.

That was very cute.

[elwenlj.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I was in a "cute" mood.

Excellent!
Was "death by hair brush" among your prompts, too, or was that an extra?
And does Rose have a bit of arachnophobia? Her children don't seem to, but I suppose Sam might well have, now, after Cirth Ungol!

[elwenlj.livejournal.com]

I think Rose caught it from me ;) But maybe she killed it for Sam. Thanks for reading.

LOL, awesome. :)

[elwenlj.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :)

I loved this - it was sweet and funny.

[elwenlj.livejournal.com]

Could hobbit children be anything else? :)

Oh, but as a lover of NCIS I just had to read this one as soon as I saw its title. Thanks for the giggles and the suggestions as well as the resolution.

Oh, you might just enjoy this:

Oooh! I enjoyed that. Thank you!

This was fun! Golidlock's "It was WAR!" was my favourite, *giggles*

[elwenlj.livejournal.com]

Lol! She cut right to it. Gibbs has a job waiting for her.
