oh oh myyy!!! very clever! A lovely piece, nice build-up of suspense and outcome that surprises and relieves. Beautiful characterizations. One of your best yet.

What an incredible story Antane! Your vivid descriptions and intricate storyline had me truly feeling all of Frodo's despair, hopelessness, and depression... WOW!! I have always thought that when a writer can evoke emotions in their audience...that the reader is "experiencing" a piece/story, rather than just merely reading it...well, that is indeed a sign of a great author! I love your ending twist too! You are truly a Master of Angst!! I have always adored Frodo, so the author's who have devote their time, and written any stories about him have my undying gratitude! I hope you carry on with this theme...I don't think I have read any of your works before...now I must rush off and look up any other stories you have written! Thank you so much for sharing this with us Antane!!...............Q

Author Reply: Wow - thank *you* so much for your very kind review! I love Frodo to death myself. I hope you enjoy my other works also, though not many have this depth of angst, but there's plenty to be found in varying degrees and tons of hobbity love throughout. :)

Namarie, God bless, Antane

Hey Antane! ooh, a new story :) I'll admit, for awhile I was like, what the heck is going on? is she really serious? then I was just concerned about Frodo ... and then the dreams part came in - OH! I see now! lol ...
anyways, lovely as always.
Keep them coming! :D

Author Reply: Hantanyel, swg! I am glad you enjoyed - and glad you were confused because I did want to make people wonder what was happening. The poor dear, just makes you love and admire him all the more because you already know he suffered from nightmares but he still went on. I wonder if this was one of them? *shivers* and *hugs him*

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

That was amazing Antane! What a horrid AU possibility, even if it was a dream. Wow. I loved your vivid descriptions, the light/dark, and to Whom they prayed... nice touch. I really enjoyed that. Thank you. :)

Author Reply: Thank you right back! Glad you enjoyed! :)

Well you are certainly right about the 'Tons' of angst! I liked the way that you made the switch at the end. Is this the end or will there be more?

Author Reply: You mean you want *more* angst than this? :) Well, this little nightmare is done, but that's another coming at some point if I can get it done that will be just about the same level but it would have really happened so it's going to be an AU of my favorite Two Towers movie scene. Just you wait!

Goodness girl! What happened to you, bitten by the agnst bug or what? No, seriously though, this was one heck of a tale. Geez, to think all that could of happened and for a second I was confused. I didn't know weither it was for real or a dream. Being locked up in Minas Tirith, away from his cousin's and Sam and life. To be cut off from everything and everyone. But, thankfully, it was all just a dream to throw him off. It was meant to throw him off, wasn't it? A nightmare sent by that evil Ring! *glares at Ring*

Author Reply: Well, you know after all the joy of Love Letters and Going Home, I just had to go off the deep end the other direction! :) Actually I wrote this over a year ago and it was even more angsty then but I decided I just couldn't do that to my - our - Frodo. I'm glad you were confused whether it was dream or reality - that's what I wanted. Yes, it was meant to throw him off, but of course, that stubborn Baggins wasn't about to be thrown off was he? :)
