"The Voice asked what it was I wanted to know, and so I said, "What are the voices I hear? What is this singing?" And the Great Voice said, "This is the sound of Creation Unfinished."

Beautiful, simply beautiful.

A wonderful explanation of how he was saved, of the near-death experience of being sent back, the rebirth feeling. Wonderful story so far.

Author Reply: I wanted to reply to this review in particular because you grasped what I did with his wounds. It stands to reason he would have suffered a pneaumo-thoraxic trauma, and there is only one way to treat that: a chest tube. Also, he needed to suffer a wound that would not heal completely in the grand tradition of epic heroes. Thanks again for reading/reviewing.

Oh yes, just as lovely as I remember! I think my favorite part was the reunion between the three, and how they rolled about laughing and hugging like children! *sigh* You created such a sweet and peaceful universe, and joyful, as well...

Author Reply: Thank you so much! These three surely loved each other, going by both main text and subtext. I think that somewhere in Boromir's heart he saw them as the children of his heart, and "his" hobbits knew that and returned his love in kind. Thank you so much for reviewing, it means so much to me!
