“We all like walking in the dark,” you said, when we set out from Bag End, and it was true enough then. But a starlit road when the wind is warm is a friendlier place for walking than a rainswept moor, or snowclad mountains. And outside dark is nothing next to the fenced in dark of the underground.

I’d got fair tired of the dark before we ever found Stinker, and following him ain’t made me like it no better. We’ve climbed for hours in a darkness that should’ve been day, and now he wants us to go in there?

Perfect companion piece to Solarfall's Torech Ungol pic (Elfwood mod's choice,) which quite serendipitously showed up next to it on my Friends page!

I tried finding it, but I can't figure out Elfwood. Do you have a link?

Elfwood has moved on to new pics of the day, but here is the url for her website, which has the pics arranged in the same order the events happen in the books:

*sniff* in one story I'm still trying to write, Sam likes the dark...however, "walking in the dark" in the Shire isn't anything like all the dark places Sam has been in this drabble...

I think Sam did like the dark, and might well like it again someday, but still...

Yes, and the plain determination that if it's got to be done you might as well start. But oh, the description of that tunnel gives me the creeps.

Interesting! I never put that line together with Sam and Frodo's experience in the tunnel before. Really great!

Yes. It makes me wonder how Frodo knew that about Sam, when there were other things he plainly didn't know.

Very nice. (Also apropos, as I am reading "Recaptured" and just finished the part where M & P go through Shelob's lair.) I gave a little shudder when I read yours.

Shelob's creepy, but the dark is much worse when you *know* there's something waiting in it.
