A very succesful view of what happened in Laketown, specially AFTER the whole dragon thing. Indeed we found very little evidence on their fates, except for a few lines saying many died.
hell, that can be said of a lot of things.
The part where she feels jealous of the boys'' future wife/lover is also very pertinent. I guess all moms feel it, right? lol.
Very... human. In the best sense of the word.
BRAVO!!

Thank you so much!! Yes, the poor people of Laketown vanish until they end up fighting again, mentioned only peripherally in LotR.

Yes, the jealousy about one's son growing up is what sparked the story. So glad that you enjoyed it. Razz smiley face

Dang it, almost got through the whole thing without tearing up. Then I read your dedication and that did it! It's usually a good thing, though, when I cry at a story, be it read or spoken. Wonderfully simple yet touching. Thank you for this piece.

Excellently done.

The refugees' POV is almost always forgotten in epic fantasy. It's good to see a story describing both their plight and their opinion of the heroes of the story.

Well done!
