This message is my answer to a new assignment from @michelle.gent. The task looked like this: 
> Grab one of your favourite books and use the page numbers in reply to this post as your own subject prompt.

The task was divided into 2 parts. Therefore, I used the quote in which the task is enclosed.

I have many books that I like. But unfortunately some of them are far from me. So I took one of those books that I had at hand. This book was the "***Lord of the Rings***".

Well, let's look at the page which I wrote in the comments. Alas, page 79 is not the most interesting page. On this page, Gendalf tells Frodo about the ring of omnipotence. That is, he describes some events of the Great Battle in which this ring is implicated.

Not the best "basis" for history. Therefore, I will challenge myself and make a short story based on this story. It will be an improvisation and its result is unknown to me. In general, I begin ...

Walter finally returned home. He felt tired but proud. His stomach pervaded the feeling of hunger. And Walter's body was covered with goosebumps.

"***How cold it is today!***" thought Walter in his thoughts.

But even these minor troubles did not spoil his mood. Walter knew that his beloved wife is waiting for him at home. He was told that she had given him a son. For a man in the middle of the earth, this was great news. Before that, his beloved wife - Suzanne was confident that they would have a daughter, and Walter so wanted a son. Therefore, the news of the born son made this hard day at work at the mine - on the best day of his life.

Walter was in a hurry to go home and so he decided to follow the path to which he had previously been afraid to enter. No, this trail was not terrible. It's just that there were terrible rumors about her. Where he worked this path was called a path with a terrible treasure. But now Walter did not care about the "terrible" treasure and especially the bad weather.

Walter just kept walking. He was thinking only of his son and his beloved Susanna when suddenly the soil under his feet began to fail. Walter lost his sense of balance and fell to the ground ...

Opening his eyes, Walter realized that he was unconscious for a while. Just above his head was a small funnel. Apparently, it was through this funnel that he fell into this pit. Something incomprehensible pounded Walter sideways. He lifted it and saw that he fell directly on some strange luminous object. Taking it in his hands, he realized that this ring. It was very beautiful. Walter thought that this was luck and took the ring with him.

Now he had to return to the path and go home. The body ached after the fall but this did not stop him from getting out of the hole and continue his journey. But now something has changed. Walter stopped thinking about his wife and son. His thoughts were completely riveted to this wonderful ring.

He thought about him for a long time and then suddenly stopped. He no longer understood where and why he was going. His thoughts completely obeyed the ring. Walter took it out of the feed and put it on ....

Suddenly the whole world around has changed. Walter saw himself from the side. He saw many different places. There was a lot of noise around him but among this noise, he heard a horrible voice. This voice called him ... At this moment, Walter came to the senses and took off the ring. But it was already late. Not far from him there was a knock. It was a horse and apparently, it was a rider.

The only thing that occurred to Walter at that moment was to run. He fled to his village without realizing that he was making a fatal mistake. The clatter of hooves grew louder, but the village was very close.

After reaching the village Walter realized that he was no longer being persecuted. Nevertheless, his hands trembled with fear. He was in utter confusion and did not understand what had happened. It all looked like a terrible dream.

Upon coming to consciousness, Walter went to his house. This time there was no thought in his head. The body was shackled by fear, he did not know what to do next. Suddenly a group of people stood on the threshold of the house. Walter could not see them out of sight. Nevertheless, they did not look threatening, so Walter went straight to them.

Coming closer he was surprised. The Wizard stood before him! And behind the magician was a detachment of wars. All wars were of different races. There were gnomes, elves, and one man. All of them were armed.

The wizard said:

> My friend! you found something you should not have found. Your family and your village are in danger. We are here to take you away from here ...

On this my little story came to an end. I made my own description of the 79 page. This is a story that not everyone can like. It is not perfect. But I think that from it you could write an interesting story, if you do not take into account that there is a whole world of Middle-earth :)
