A better description of what it feels to have a migraine I've never read. I was especially struck by your detailing of the scalp massage - one of the best remedies to relax the muscles and help a severe headache. I sincerely hope this intimate knowledge of migraines does not result from first-hand experience, but the story certainly reads like it does. I like how you selected Merry for this particular torment - he could certainly worry himself sick by trying to anticipate every danger and work out every problem in advance. The image of Merry encircled by concerned hobbits is a heart-warming one, and of course, we love to see Boromir carrying either Pippin or Merry at need. Excellent story.

Author Reply: Thank you! I cannot (thankfully) with true conscience say I have a migraine, but I hav eexperienced really bad headaches. Merry`s headache here is not a written out experience of mine, though.

I sometimes feel Boromir is written too cruel and evil, but I don`t see him like that. I think he was a kind man, but the Ring insnared him and made him do what he did to Frodo.

Poor Merry worrying himself sick over Frodo. Loved Pippin's concern for his Merry and every body in the Fellowship looking after him. Very nice, enjoyable story.
