"Devil's Plaything"

Pursuant to the warm welcome I've received, and in the spirit of immediate and shameless self-promotion, I'd like to share a little story I had written some time ago called "Devil's Plaything".

It's something of an alternate-universe tale by necessity, chronicling the events of the Black Numenoreans of the Third Age, and namely their rebellion against Sauron and collaboration with Gondor during the War of the Ring. Naturally, I've taken a liberty here and there and stretched a few things a little, but this was one of those pieces of writing that had to be written, and for myself, was as much a cathartic exercise as it was a Tolkien fan working out how he might see himself in Middle-Earth (as well as an off-handed tribute to the Master himself).

To the reader, I hope you enjoy
