He stood in Sauron’s smithy. He had carried himself there on his own two feet. He drew out that … Lover? Master? Self? ... that Golden Ring. And he remembered no more.

Until he found himself standing beside his … Servant? Gardener? Brother? ... his Friend of Friends. Sam had carried him out….

But to Mordor, the land of despair. 

To be out, Frodo knew now, was not to be whole — was not to be happy.

Until…

“Come in, Mr. Frodo. You’ll catch your death of cold out here!”

And Sam led him through the green door of Bag End.

Ooo, I like it. I like the parallel/contrast idea you set up. The idea of being caught in the volcano and then getting out sets up what should be a contrast, but you turn it on its head and show how nothing's really changed. Emotionally, Frodo's still caught up in all of it until Sam can get him both physically and mentally back in the Shire. It's an intriguing idea.

Yes, I wanted to mess with it so it wasn't a complete parallel. :-) Glad you enjoyed! :-)
