The Sandman: Brief Lives

Author: Neil Gaiman

Morpheus, the Lord of Dreams, embarks on a poignant journey with his capricious sister Delirium to find their long-lost brother, Destruction. As they traverse realms both mundane and magical, Gaiman weaves a tapestry of human frailty and immortal longing. With each encounter, the Sandman grapples with the weight of his own existence, questioning the nature of change and permanence. This haunting tale, filled with Gaiman’s signature blend of myth and melancholy, left me pondering the fleeting beauty of life long after I turned the final page.

Sometimes you wake up. Sometimes the fall kills you. And sometimes, when you fall, you fly.
