Title : The One That Got Away
Author : fredbassett
Fandom : The Lord of the Rings
Rating : 12
Characters : Uglúk
Disclaimer : Not mine, no money made, don’t sue.
Spoilers : None
Summary : Uglúk plays dead.
A/N : 1) Written for the Tolkien100 challenge, Under the Trees 2) Having provided a fix it for Shagrat, I thought Uglúk deserved one too.

The stink from the pyre clogged noses and throats and made eyes water.

The bodies of the slain orcs were burning.

The Riders gathered stones and cut slabs of earth to lay over the bodies of their dead comrades.

But unseen by the Riders, a lone orc dragged himself through the stifling forest.

The Rider believed his enemy was dead but Uglúk was as hard to kill as an armoured cockroach.

The final sword thrust had not been a killing blow.

He knew they would not miss one orc amongst many.

Now he just had to survive the cursed trees.

Be careful Uglúk

Ah, that might be the tricky one, though. Great Drabble!

[fredbassett]

*g* Thanks.

Go Uglúk!

If you can make it out of the forest, go west. You'll find Shagrat somewhere along the Anduin after the fall of Barad-dûr!

[fredbassett]

I'm tempted, I really am!

I like your style \o/

[fredbassett]

I'm very find of Ugluk. He needs a fix it.

Ugluk and Shagrat going off into the sunset together like the end of Casablanca?

But angry Huorns are a lot harder to evade than Rohirrim...

[fredbassett]

Could well happen!!
