Racing Darkness: Frodo

I hate to ride while the others walk, but I do not think I could manage to keep up anymore. The cold has spread from my shoulder down my side and if it were not that I can see the reins Glorfindel has wrapped around my wrist I would not know how I've kept from falling. I'm getting sore too, because the saddle is not sized for hobbits, no more than the horse could be. But I do not complain. In a strange way, I'm grateful for the pain. I don't think you can still get blisters if you're dead.

Once, when I went to the ER, I was lying on a cot and the nurse who came to check on me asked me how I was doing. I said, "I'm bored," and she said, "if you were sick enough to be seen immediately you'd be too sick to notice." I nodded, and have tried to remember that at various points in my life when I needed to endure.

This reminded me of that, in a good way.

Yes, I still remember the first time I landed in ER, and my confusion at realizing that a broken collarbone and a knock on the head did not constitute an inability to move...

Sometimes you just have to go ahead and go.

Thanks!

whoa..the last line was intense... "I don't think you can get blisters if you're dead"
awww~! :(
"hang on Frodo!"
thanks for sharing, rabidsamfan! =)

Intense was it? I couldn't decide if it was prosaic or funny or just logical... Have you ever ridden a horse that was too big for you? Poor Frodo...

[periantari.livejournal.com]

no..haven't rode on a horse too big for me :p ..the last line could be thought of as "funnY" or intense but it did sound logical to me so therefore i thought that it was quite creative to include that... because death or falling into shadow were both imminent effects... and Frodo could've easily died... :*(

Yay! I've really waited for this!

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

I hope it was worth it! *grin*

Are you kidding? Of course!

You know, he has a point... ;) And I was happy to see this! I'd been hoping you'd do Frodo as part of this little series. :)

I'm still trying to come up with a good "twist" for Glorfindel...

Hi RSF. I'm enjoying these little vignettes very much. An interesting idea and very well executed. Thanks!

Pure impulse, actually. But I'm having fun with it!
