| Creepy, very, very creepy. Especially the part about the dead eyes and what I imagine had to be puddles of blood. Yes, I'm sure Pippin's feet will never feel clean again after THAT experience! This story just gives me the chills...which is the mark of both a good writer and a good story. Author Reply: I think I already replied, but will do so again. Thank you. I'm glad it was chilling, that was part of what I hoped to do. :) Pearl Took | |

| Oh, wow. It's funny, I don't think I ever thought of how awful that journey to Gandalf would have been for our little brother. You've managed to incorperate every emotion that someone on that sort of mission would go through. Fantastic work! Angst, as well as beautiful romance - what else are you capable of? :) Author Reply: He went through many dark things, yet didn't lose himself. A wonderful hobbit is our younger brother! What else am I capable of? I hope much, I fear little. Only time will tell. Thank you for responding. Pearl Took | |

| Oh, my! Makes me want to cuddle Pippin and give him back his innocence. Well done, Pearl. Author Reply: You may cuddle my little brother anytime. He's really a sensitive type who needs frequent cuddles. It is a shame that once innocence is lost, it can't be regained. But he has kept much of himself, including his humor! ;) Thank you, shirebound, for the time you spend reading and responding to so many people's stories, you are such an encourager to us all! :) Pearl Took | |

| Wow. This is stunning. You really got into Pippin's head well, girl. The last line was especially powerful. Author Reply: Thank you so much. I sometimes think I live in Pippin's head, and it is very confusing! Pearl Took | |

| That was intense! I realized after I had read it that I had hardly been breating through the whole thing. I wish I could write like that. I felt like I was right there living it with him. All I can say is, "WOW!" I'm still breathless and on an adrenalin rush. Connie. Author Reply: Thank you. It is so good to know I accomplished this. I wanted people to feel they were running along with him. Thank you for responding. Pearl Took | |

| I have never read anything like this anywhere! This was amazing. I felt like I was running along with Pippin. Your images were so clear and all of this done with but a small bit of dialogue from Gandalf. I am so impressed with that. If my characters don't speak, then I'm in big trouble! LOL Wonderful writing. Author Reply: Thank you so much. I really wasn't sure it was as strong as I wanted it and it has been so good to find out it is. Thank you for all the encouraging comments.

| Oh...Pearl....this is sooooo good! I feel every moment of panic, I feel his fear and apprehension as he runs through the streets. You are so gifted...especially when it comes to describing details such as this. Take your bow, Pearl--you've done a splendid job as usual! :-) Pippinfan Author Reply: Thank you. I'm glad you like it since you gave me the time and space to write it. Thank you for everything! Pearl Took | |
