Summary: By the riverbank not far from the Gladden Fields, there lies an oft-missed grave. And Smeagol remembers.
Word Count: 100
Rating: Teen (for violence, adult themes)
Timeline: Early Third Age (bookverse)
------
An unmarked stone stands before a weeping willow near Gladden Fields, surrounded by a circle of sunflowers. A ring for a ring, of sorts.
None but he who left it would name it a gravemarker.
Sméagol sees it sometimes, in dreams. Often in those early months he would paw at the ground in his sleep, feel the clammy neck under his fingers. When he wakes those flowers plague his sight.
Over the years, as Gollum has wrestled Sméagol for control of their mind, the vision becomes a second's flash. A blinding gold, naught more. Yet it is always there.
