There used to be an old sign by the path, warning passers-by of the local sleeping willow, which would trap the unwary with fatigue, engulf them while they slept, and release them a hundred years later.

There was a new sign:

"This sleeping willow is full."

And a map of other locations to try.

Where's Tom Bombadil? Sleeping in the willow along with the rest of them. i mean, living through the rise of Sauron was one thing, but have you seen the crap going on in the world today? shudder
