The Sandman

Ryker spends his afterlife reaping the truly deplorable down to the darkest depths.

Ryker
I bring death to this sleepy little town
But I am not the bad guy,
Or maybe I am…
I made a decision that cost me my life and knowing what I know…
I damn sure would do it again
My regret isn’t what I did
It’s what I didn’t get to do
No point in dwelling on it
I’ve got a job to do
And that’s putting the truly evil to sleep
They call me Sandman…

Autumn
I’m living a fairytale
Perfect job and the guy of my dreams
Nobody’s perfect…
He has his flaws but nothing that’ll keep me from saying “I do”
I think…
I love this man enough to overlook his small indiscretions
As long as I don’t get hurt, it’s ok… right?
I’ve dreamt of a perfect life like this
So why is it starting to feel like a nightmare?
I thought the Sandman was suppose to bring sweet dreams…

What happens when death steps in and turns their world upside down? When the truth is revealed, when the dust settles will their hearts still be whole?

The way S. Courtney weaved together this story took my imagination on a journey of love and longing intertwined in the midst of death and judgment. You can’t help feeling glad that evil gets stomped out and at the same time feel heartbroken that a judgment separates two kindred souls.
