The Last Temptation of Samwise

I can feel It. Not Its weight, thank goodness, or I’d not manage to carry you a step, but the Ring is there between my shoulder blades, and every time I stop to hitch you up a little and get a better grip on your legs, or when you shift your arms to ease the pressure on my neck, I feel Its shape carving a new hole in my skin.

I remember how warm and heavy It was on my finger. How smooth and perfect It felt. How It gleamed as if it were something pure.

I want It.

No!
