The Two Towers

It is like in the great stories. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you do not want to know the end because how could the end be happy. How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened. But in the end it is only a passing thing this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you that meant something. Even when you were too small to understand why. I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they do not. They kept going because they were holding on to something. If there is some good in this world. And it is worth fighting for.
