Ramadan
Rereading some old favorites. Anyone who likes stories needs to go out and locate a copy of Sandman #50, “Ramadan”. One can find it in Neil Gaiman’s “Fables and Reflections” collection. You don’t even have to buy it, you can read it in the store. It’s only 32 pages. I won’t give a plot synopsis or anything as that might ruin it for anyone reading it the first time.
“And he prays as he walks (cursing his one weak leg the while), prays to Allah (who made all things) that somewhere, in the darkness of dreams, abides the other Baghdad (that can never die), and the other egg of the Phoenix. But Allah alone knows all.”
