“Almost home!” Those words echoed in Penny’s mind as she devoured her food. Finally home with my family in my cozy hobbit-hole, with a bed, food, a bath and no wights. Penny was so cheerful and she her smile was so big. She had rarely smiled since… well since they left. Penny had lost track of days. They almost certainly were gone for about two weeks.
Penny remembered the day they left for the boat ride. She couldn’t wait to get on the river. She had told her Mum and Pa that shed be gone for only a few days. Were they worried, because a few days passed a long time ago? Penny listened to the others talked. Now that she thought about it, it hadn’t been too bad.
“The worse parts were, the rain, Old Bill, sleeping, food, Barrow-Downs and well that’s about it. Look on the bright side we all survived and we even found Tom.” Penny thought.
“What are we going to do with Tom? I mean we can’t just leave him here. Someone should take him home.” Penny said.
