Your joking right? The author said flipping his eyes back to his paper adjusting his coffee at the shop where the two had been gathered.

"No I'm really not"

"Big fan I take it?" asked smiling.

"No. I'm Shadow h.r moon and you wrote my fuking book" shadow didn't say h.r but rather his actual name which shall remain undisclosed.

"How do you know his middle name?"

"Cus it's my own."

"So let's hypothetically say you are real. Your my fictional character. What then?"

"You don't seem very surprised"

"The amount of awe inspiring things I saw writing that series may surprise you"

"Trust me." Shadow said pulling up a chair.

"I lived it."

"So who is this S.R?"

"She's a prophet like you?"

"I'm no prophet. I'm a creative writer. It seems you have taken on a life of your own. Just like Dreams visions in sandman."

"In what?"

"Tell me you have the audacity to claim i came up with you but not to have read my work?"

"Jeesus fuking christ."

"Oh relax shadow moon its not like I believe you to be him. Though you share a striking resemblance to what I imagined and- oh god"

"What?"

"Let me see your left wrist. It's something I left out of the books but always imagined about him."

Shadow then showed his birthmark on his wrist to .

"But that's impossible. That's-"

"Like I said i'm not lying."

"Why are you here? Is Wednesday with you?"

"You mean that ol' hag. Nah she's living it up with Loki"

"Just as I imagined. Not always in motion is he?"

"Nah" Shadow laughed moving his hands to each other.

"So this character your writing. Sandy. Sandy-"

"Sandy Elohin."

"Right right."

"Let me guess. She's of use to Wednesday I'm guessing?"

"Can I ask a question about her?"

"But of course"

'Is she you know-"

"Like you?"

"Yeah. I mean I guess" Shadow squinted his eyes. "Is she like me?"

"Well for starters I changed his gender. He's not a she at all. Secondly no. She's so much more than you she's you know" gaimen gestured up to the ceiling.

"God? Your kidding."

"Not exactly. But no I'm not. More like Satan. Theirs this great plot twist with-"

"Save it Gaimen. I'm just here to relay a message to you"

"Which is what exactly?"

"Whatever you do don't stop writing?"

"Very well" said smiling and resuming his paper.
