Into Depravity -II- Book One of the Tales of the Fourth Age Series

While traveling through the Dead Marshes, Gollum told Frodo about his past before the Ring found him. Now, three years after the War of the Ring, haunted by the story, Frodo sits down to put the story down in the Red Book in the hopes to give anyone who reads it a different perspective on the sad life of Smeagol, and his journey into depravity.

What people are saying:
"I swear I got goosebumps all up my arms when I read this." - @KKat203

"No. No. No! I already know what happens between them and now you're going to bring the feels down that wasn't there before!" - @Silvan_Elleth

"Wow. How dark and depressing. I like how you turned a small portion of a tale into something larger and gave it more meaning. It's easier to imagine the Ring having such a hold on him.
It's fresh and new, and I like it. :) great job!" - @SunnyTreasures
