Craig Russell">P. Craig Russell</a> </p><p>This story deals with the idea of quality versus quantity of life. It is split between two views: the lives of a group on an island off the coast of <a href="/wiki/Venice" title="Venice">Venice</a> protected by magic from <a href="/wiki/Death_(DC_Comics)" class="mw-redirect" title="Death (DC Comics)">Death</a> versus the memories and thoughts of a young American (the conclusion suggests he is a special forces soldier) who has never forgotten his childhood encounter with her. </p><p>The story is narrated by a man in his late twenties/early thirties who seems to be disillusioned with the world around him. He walks around Venice speaking of time, illusion and trickery before segueing into an extended flashback of his childhood trip to Venice. While playing hide and seek he gets lost and meets Death of the Endless before a locked gate. She asks him to open it, which he attempts to do until finally he is found by his cousins hours later. They return to Venice with him in disgrace. The remaining story is his return to that gate, subsequent dealing with Death, musings on the facade of reality, his obsession with Death, and his general melancholy. </p><p>The name is derived from <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Mann" title="Thomas Mann">Thomas Mann's</a> 1912 novella <i><a href="/wiki/Death_in_Venice" title="Death in Venice">Death in Venice</a></i>. The magician's desire on how to die from the beginning of the story was originally stated by Boris the bodyguard in <i><a href="/wiki/Death:_The_Time_of_Your_Life" title="Death: The Time of Your Life">Death: The Time of Your Life</a></i>. The events in this story seem to be heavily influenced by <a href="/wiki/Edgar_Allan_Poe" title="Edgar Allan Poe">Edgar Allan Poe</a>'s short story "<a href="/wiki/The_Masque_of_the_Red_Death" title="The Masque of the Red Death">The Masque Of The Red Death</a>".

A woman named Kara, living in an apparently <a href="/wiki/History_of_the_British_Isles" title="History of the British Isles">pre-Roman Britain</a>, becomes enamored of Danyal, a handsome neighbour. Danyal travels to the coast while his father goes to negotiate an exchange of hostages; upon the latter's failure, Kara sets out to tell the former that his father is dead. On the way she meets <a href="/wiki/Desire_(DC_Comics)" class="mw-redirect" title="Desire (DC Comics)">Desire</a>, who promises to inspire an unbreakable longing in Danyal. As a result, he courts her for three months, until she consents to marry him. Unfortunately, he is killed soon afterward, and his killers come asking Kara for shelter, which she grants in obedience to cultural tradition. Upon seeing her husband's severed head, she manipulates his killers' desire for her and has them perform contests of strength, skill, and wit, distracting them until her own warriors return the following morning to kill them all. Thereafter, she no longer desires anything. She eventually remarries and dies of old age. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Chapter_3:_Dream_-_The_Heart_of_a_Star">Chapter 3: Dream - The Heart of a Star</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Sandman:_Endless_Nights&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Chapter 3: Dream - The Heart of a Star"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Art by <a href="/wiki/Miguelanxo_Prado" title="Miguelanxo Prado">Miguelanxo Prado</a> </p><p>Near the beginning of the habitability of the universe, <a href="/wiki/Dream_(DC_Comics)" class="mw-redirect" title="Dream (DC Comics)">Dream</a> and his new paramour Killalla of the Glow travel to a meeting of astronomical phenomena, wherein Killalla is astonished to identify the delegates as the very <a href="/wiki/Star" title="Star">stars</a>, galaxies, and dimensions which comprise the cosmos.

The first aspect of <a href="/wiki/Despair_(DC_Comics)" class="mw-redirect" title="Despair (DC Comics)">Despair</a> also appears in the story, quite different in appearance and more sociable than her latter aspect. </p><p>In addition, other DC comics characters appear: the character Killalla originates from the planet <a href="/wiki/Oa_(comics)" class="mw-redirect" title="Oa (comics)">Oa</a> (although technically from planet Maltus), and is an ancestor of the <a href="/wiki/Guardians_of_the_Universe" title="Guardians of the Universe">Guardians of the Universe</a>, who form the <a href="/wiki/Green_Lantern" title="Green Lantern">Green Lantern Corps</a>; able to manipulate their characteristic green energy, but with incomplete control. Despair has a conversation with a <a href="/wiki/Red_giant" title="Red giant">red giant</a> star named Rao about the creation of life on an unstable world and the possibility of a lone survivor to continually mourn the destruction of that world: this is an allusion to the history of <a href="/wiki/Superman" title="Superman">Superman</a>, in that Rao is the red giant sun around which Superman's homeworld of <a href="/wiki/Krypton_(comics)" title="Krypton (comics)">Krypton</a> orbited, as well as the Kryptonian God.

In both "The Heart Of A Star" and "Brief Lives", characters comment on Destiny's blindness and, in both stories, it is shown that there are questions Destiny cannot answer (in the former, he asks Killalla if she loves Dream and, in the latter, he is unable to tell why Delight changed to Delirium). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Chapter_4:_Despair_-_Fifteen_Portraits_of_Despair">Chapter 4: Despair - Fifteen Portraits of Despair</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Sandman:_Endless_Nights&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Chapter 4: Despair - Fifteen Portraits of Despair"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Art by <a href="/wiki/Barron_Storey" title="Barron Storey">Barron Storey</a>, designed by <a href="/wiki/Dave_McKean" title="Dave McKean">Dave McKean</a> </p><p>This collection of fifteen very short <a href="/wiki/Vignettes_(literature)" class="mw-redirect" title="Vignettes (literature)">vignettes</a> illustrates different aspects of <a href="/wiki/Despair_(DC_Comics)" class="mw-redirect" title="Despair (DC Comics)">Despair</a>, either the character herself, the <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/despair" class="extiw" title="wiktionary:despair">emotion</a> in abstract, or people in a state of despair.

Dialogue between Delirium and a human character indicate that the rift between <a href="/wiki/Destruction_(DC_Comics)" class="mw-redirect" title="Destruction (DC Comics)">Destruction</a> and the rest of the Endless has been partially healed. The story is narrated by a female archaeologist who has constant dreams and waking dreams of the world in many post-apocalyptic forms, indicating that she belongs to Destruction's realm; this is echoed in the events of the story as she becomes deeply attracted to him while uncovering artifacts on the peninsula. According to Delirium, the artifacts the archaeologists uncover on the peninsula are not from the future, but a distortion of reality caused by Delirium and/or Destruction's presence in the area. In the end, the peninsula is mysteriously destroyed. The facts that Destruction may have caused the distortion of reality, that he has agreed to talk to his family again, and that the peninsula is ultimately destroyed may imply that he has come back to his functions and responsibilities. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Chapter_7:_Destiny_-_Endless_Nights">Chapter 7: Destiny - Endless Nights</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Sandman:_Endless_Nights&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Chapter 7: Destiny - Endless Nights"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Art by <a href="/wiki/Frank_Quitely" title="Frank Quitely">Frank Quitely</a> </p><p>This short story is simply a wander through <a href="/wiki/Destiny_(DC_Comics)" class="mw-redirect" title="Destiny (DC Comics)">Destiny's</a> garden of forking paths.
