I like the tone and the concept very much. If anything, I found the phrase “When I crossed the unseen boundary into the realm of night” a bit too purple for the rest of the piece.
Thank you for your comments! @ Krulltrar- I am honored to be associated with Gaiman, he is one of my heroes. @ August Rode- I hadn’t heard the term purple before and I had to look it up. I understand now, what you meant, but I’m that was actually a literal place. He wandered the dreamlands (desert) under the light of the sun for many days until he found the place where night started. Is it still purple? @ Flamesbane- I don’t typically sequel my own stories (for a variety of reasons), I urge anyone who wants to- to do it. If my character cries out to me that his story is not finished, maybe I’ll do it then. Thanks to each one of you!
