This is the last drabble for this story.

There were figures in these bubbles. Some were stressed out, others were just doing things absentmindedly. Frodo longed to smash these bubbles open, just long enough for the people inside the bubbles to see where they were, see what they were doing wrong. He couldn't do anything for them, not even for the author who sat by herself, writing by herself.
"Maybe I can read." He told her, hoping to get her attention.
Yes! Maybe there was a light at the end of the tunnel. He just didn't expect that light to come so soon… he could barely move….
….he awoke with a new revelation. He turned his head to the study's bookcase. Had he been inside this room the whole time? Had he really been dreaming about wanting to read, the need to read something new? Well, he wasn't just going to find anything to read on the spot. What perked his interests that he hadn't thought of in a long time?
There was a new book sitting on the top of the bookcase. New, pristine and hadn't been opened. It was the book he'd been planning to read, but hadn't gotten around to it. Yes! He had found the book he wanted to read! And he would enjoy it, even before he got fed up with it and wanted to read another one.
Oh, the cycle really didn't end. At the end of the day, Frodo could at least admit that he found something to read. And that made the day better for everyone. Including himself.
The End.
