Gardener's Bond  by Mysterious Jedi 4 Review(s)
AntaneReviewed Chapter: 2 on 6/25/2009
He wanted to walk around a bit and perhaps get a drink of water, but by then even sitting up caused such unbearable dizziness that he decided it was not worth the effort. His throat was violently protesting these circumstances. His mouth and throat were so dry…surely he could walk over to get a glass of water and back. He envisioned himself walking to the kitchen, getting out a glass, and pouring water into it. That did not seem too hard. He envisioned it a few more times, each time realizing at the end of his plan that he had not yet carried it out. He knew that he could be back in bed with his thirst quenched in a few minutes if he could simply move.

Oh, poor Frodo. This is a well written story and I love this bit.

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Author Reply: Thanks! This particular bit was based off my own experience.

You should write more because this has been a great story! Poor Frodo and now Merry and Merry's guilt and his memories of teaching Frodo to swim and all Sam's care and Bilbo's - love it!

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Good story so far, only to the second chapter though! You have a good talent of description without boring the read.

"He envisioned himself walking to the kitchen, getting out a glass, and pouring water into it. That did not seem too hard.

That sounds exactly like me in the morning when I need to get up and take a shower!

Author Reply: Oops, I somehow failed to notice and reply to this. Sorry! I was remembering a time I had been sick myself not too long before I wrote that. Thanks so much for the review!

Might want to check the formatting on this chapter... it looks a bit funky. It may be that all your were deleted. Just thought I would let you know.
