Sandman drabble
Genre: Horror
Words: 169

It is 1953. The dream king is lost. His world and the dreams within it are like sheep without a shepherd. And like any abandoned herd, some sheep wander off in search of better sustenance...
Jeremy turned over in his sleep, one hand flung out wildly to hang over the edge as in his dreams he passed the next day's Biology exam with 200 percent.
A dark, hairy shape approached on all fours. It regarded the sleeping boy for a moment then, almost daintily, took the hand in its mouth and began to feed.
Jeremy woke up, feeling the lose of a good dream. He noticed the beast before the pain. Noticed that his hand had disappeared into its mouth and that its dull eyes were black and unemotional.
"This is a dream. This is a dream," he told himself, even as great stabs of pain began to make their way up his arm.
And then the beast pounced.
"Nightmare," was Jeremy's last thought.
His screams woke the neighbors.
