So i was looking at a leaf spring from an old car in my yard, yes, i am a redneck, get it out of your system now, moving on, and suddenly i pictured this guy. This Uruk Hai but not in Middle Earth, Last Earth: Post Apocalyptic Earth. My fancy gave him a 3/4 inch rebar arrow and then took off trying to re-imagine the Lord of the Rings in this new setting. What if hobbits were halflings readapting to a pastoral setting after the technological breakdown? What if Sauron was pushing to reinstate the techno-industrial empire? What if his "eye" was a remaining satellite? Goblins came out of tunnels, basements and sewers? Man was easily lured back to his glorious past, forgetting the evils he had wreaked upon the world? i'm still fuzzy on elves but they'll come. What do you think? What would this world look like? How would it effect the story? What would the ring be if magic was symbolized by something else?
