We don't have a clue what's really going down, we just kid ourselves that we're in control of our lives while a paper's thickness away things that would drive us mad if we thought about them for too long play with us, and move us around from room to room, and put us away at night when they're tired, or bored.
"The Sandman" by Neil Gaiman, (Sandman #16: "Lost Hearts"), January 1989 - November 2015.
