My own adventure turned out to be quite different… I’m not like you Bilbo
They cursed us. Murderer they called us. They cursed us, and drove us away. And we wept, Precious, we wept to be so alone. And we only wish to catch fish so juicy sweet. And we forgot the taste of bread… the sound of trees… the softness of the wind. We even forgot our own name. My Precious.

“Pity? It was pity that stayed Bilbo’s hand. Many that live deserve death, and some that die deserve life.”
“My name is Bilbo Baggins.”
“The ring brought to Gollum unnatural long life. For 500 years, it poisoned his mind. And in the gloom of Gollum’s cave, it waited. Darkness crept back into the forests of the world.”
