Prompt: Challenge #28: Looking Back/Looking Forward
Rating/Warnings: G, none
Author's Note: I must have written dozens of drabbles like this - all the influence of Mary Borsellino's 'Pretty Good Year'. It still tugs at the old heartstrings.
Frodo felt his future on his back, but couldn't yet look away from the receding figures of dear Pippin, beloved Merry - and Sam.
Sam would go back to Rosie, as he should, and live a happy life. Frodo imagined for one last self-indulgent moment himself a part of that life: days spent in Shire sunshine and winter evenings with their children at his knee, and nights spent sleeping between those two excellent hobbits - but he was too cold now to be warmed by sunlight and love.
He turned away at last, and looked into the brilliance of the west.
