ll Bette's stories have happy endings. That's because she knows where to stop. She's realized the real problem with stories -- if you keep them going long enough, they always end in death.

From SANDMAN #6: "24 Hours"
Stories are how humanity interacts with the world, how we build it up, and break it down.

Outside of our intimate circles, we can only care for so long before our lives interrupt with the daily tasks of living. I have cried for and cared for fictional characters with more attention than I give to victims in the nightly news.

Nothing I can do can help or hindered a stranger a thousand miles away or a character in a story-- but one is fiction and is safe to care and cry for.
