Down the Hobbit Hole

Tolkien played god. With sand and water he made life; built not a castle but a world. Middle Earth wasn't his playground, it was his child. And I'm changing things. A passerby, a visitor, intruder; a tourist, however foul the word, I wander Tolkien's elysium and leave my own footprints, stirring the sand. Tolkien might have been a god, but I am far from it.
