Orc-estrating A Pickup

(I’m at my community college, where I need to stay late to make up a class I missed earlier in the week. My mother and I are texting about how I’m going to get home, as I cannot drive and the buses aren’t agreeing with the time. We are huge Lord of the Rings fans, and my name is very similar to one of the countries in the books.)

Me: “Which parking lot?”

Mom: “The one west of building 3, towards 185th.”

Me: “Which west? I don’t know the campus well.”

Mom: “West, towards the wildlife refuge and the setting sun. When it sets.”

Me: “Not to the eastern sunrise on the fifth day?”

Mom: “No, look to my ending light on the Thurs Day, at sunset look to the west.”

Me: “Okay. I’ll be out at 9.”

Mom: “I will call you if you need aid.”

Me: “And Rowan will answer.”
