"How are yeh holden' up, Miss Neavyan?"

"And yet, Mordor is still far."
"That's a place I don't want to see get closer."
"But we gotta get there, Miss Neavyan. It's our quest."
"Yeah." I pulled out the notebook that I had gotten from Lady Galadriel and started to write. As I did, an odd thought struck me. I was writing to JRR Tolkien, who was in the future. Yet, before the building had collapsed, I had been in 2014, which was after Tolkien's time. Now it was very far in the past. Time travel. Hmm. Frodo calling for Sam and I broke my train of thought.
"We should get moving! Come on!" The three of us trooped over the hills, and the gritty dirt reminded me of home.
