The Sandman (Comics)+1
The art of living (See you in five?)
by Cam1610
What would happen if Hob Gadling landed on Orpheus’s mysterious island in the year 1800? What would unfold if he befriended that sad, despairing boy who thinks about death but still carries a spark of life within him? What if Hob decided to nurture that spark, returning every five years to show Orpheus that life is truly worth living? After years of absence and avoiding his son, Dream of the Endless comes to ask Orpheus for help in finding his lost brother. He expects to hear a plea for death – because Orpheus begged for it for millennia. But this time it will be completely different – and it will be the King of Dreams who is shocked. After all – like father, like son, right?
