Author's Notes: I don't know what possessed me to write this. If someone else knows, will they share with the class. A person sitting in the middle row a few seats back name Insane Pineapple from Naboo will be there to listen.
Summary: What Frodo while he is inside of Mt. Doom. Spoilers for RoTK.
Disclaimer: Why do we even need these? If anyone wants to sue m, they won't be getting much.
Falling
The ring is taking control again. I don't fear my own safety, but I do fear Sam's. If it
wasn't for Sam I would be long before now. Ringbearers truly cannot carry this heavy burden
without help from those around them. I'm going to lose this battle with the ring any minute now. I
only hope we somehow manage to destroy the ring. I'm starting to fall now.
Falling.........
Falling..........
Falling hard.............
The ring has taken control of my body. It will never be able to control my mind, but I am
powerless against its stronghold. Get away, Sam. Just Run. But of course he doesn't run away
from me. He is waiting for me to regain control of my mind yet again. I don't think I can do it this
time, Sam. I am too weak to go much farther as it is. I could have died a thousand times on this
quest, and I think I'm going to finally meet my end on this mountain, but I don't want you to go
with me. I want you to live on to marry Rosie, Sam.
Dehydration...........
Starvation..............
Blood loss..............
Shelob...............
Nazgul..............
Orcs...........
They are only among the possiliites if I managed to get past Gondor. The ring is pushing
me away from the fires. I can't help it, Sam. Please forgive me. I nearly killed you at Gondor, and
you risked your life in the tower to save me, but don't come near me. You draw closer anyway.
"Mr. Frodo?" You ask, and my heart breaks into a million pieces at they way you say those
words.
Try to rise........
And falling again......
Strider........
Legolas.......
Gimli...........
Merry.......
Pippin.......
Gandalf.......
Bilbo..........
Sam..............
I'm so sorry.............
Wait. There's the one hope that might save us all. Gandalf was right. Gollum does have
something else to do. Sauron must disagree with me though because the ring is forcing me to put
it on. I disappear, but Gollum knows exactly where it is. We wrestle for a moment and he bites
my finger off along with the ring. It is a welcome pain that I have not felt in so long. I'm coming
back to my control. It is Gollum who is falling this time. And his fall can never rise again.
Falling...........
Falling............
Falling for eternity...........
Sam helps me up as we hear the sound of the fires rising. I don't think we're going to
make it off Mt. Doom let alone out of Mordor. I guess I was meant to die here in the company of
my faithful companion and loving friend. Darkness surrounds me, and I yet again welcome the
peace. It will all be over soon..............
Author's Notes: So what did you think? I still don't know why I wrote this, but it was a change from what I usually write. I hope you liked it, and review please. Ja ne ~Insane Pineapple from Naboo
