THE FANDOM ZONE 256: "Playing House" Is Up!

 
"I'm not afraid."
"You should be. A Nightmare's purpose is to reveal a dreamer's fears, that they may face them. Perhaps a few thousand years in the Darkness will reveal your fears."
"Better that than to make others afraid. Even a Nightmare can dream, my lord."
-- Gault and Morpheus, The Sandman -- "Playing House"
