This is all that is familiar; this prison and its skeletons, the barren garden, and the gate; the gate, its frame aggressively clinging to walls too high to climb, its peeled paint drawing the shape of a threatening grin, its rusty padlock keeping her in, and the knothole in the middle, like a single eye, watching her as she plots.

Hi there, friend! I apologize for missing you (and about 67 other bloggers) in my reader the last couple weeks. Not doing well at all keeping up. BUT! I have not forgotten your name research! I couldn’t find my Quenya dictionary. Well, sort of. It just had a pile of stuff to go to the Good Will store in front of the bookcase and I couldn’t get to it. We dropped all that by the store today and I was finally able to get to it. Will be emailing you. 😀
