I had a dream of five kids playing on a playground. There were four boys and a girl.

“Come on Tiffany! Let’s race down the slide!” A boy in all black yelled

“I’m coming Sandman!” The little girl yelled

She climbed up the ladder and sat in the slide next to Sandman. They counted down together and went down the slide.

“I won!” Sandman cheered. All the other kids laughed as he continued to cheer

“Ready for round two?” He asked

The little girl smiled “You bet!” They ran off to the slides again.

“Sandman! Let me race Tiffany!” A boy in yellow begged

“Hang on Benzedrine. After this race we can all play a game of freeze tag” Sandman responded

Then I got woken up by a knock on my bedroom door. I got up to answer it and Sandman walked in.

“How did you sleep?” He smiled

“Great. You woke me up but I slept great” I told him

“Well Benzedrine is cooking us food. Want to come down for some?” He asked

“Yes I’ll be right down”

Sandman left the room and I looked at myself in the mirror. My hair and makeup was still perfect. Not a smudge on my makeup and not a curl out of place. Even when I brushed though my hair the curl would come back.

I headed downstairs to the kitchen. I just threw a robe over my sleeping clothes. Once I got into the kitchen everybody was already down there. Donnie was sleeping with his head on the table. Horse Shoe Crab was air guitaring and Sandman was leaning back in his chair. I sat next to Sandman and he smiled.

“So how was everybody last night?” Benzedrine said breaking the silence

“You know same old. Delivering dreams” Sandman laughed

Benzedrine laughed “Well it looks like Donnie didn’t get much sleep” Sandman added poking Donnie scaring him awake

“How about you Jess?” Benzedrine asked

“Oh my night was great” I responded “I have a question”

“What is it?” Benzedrine said as he started putting plates on the table

“You guys were all born here. Correct?”

“We sure where”

“Did you always go by the same names as you do now?”

Sandman nodded “Always. Benzedrine? Remember that girl we used to always hang out with?” Sandman winked and Benzedrine

“I sure do” Benzedrine said

“What do you mean used to hang out with?” I asked

“It’s a long story” Sandman said

“That we aren’t allowed to talk about!” Horse Shoe Crab cut him off

Sandman put his head down and started eating. I poking Donnie awake again and we all started eating

After we were done eating Sandman took me outside

“Do you want to know the story of what happened to our friend? Actually what happened to a lot of the people who used to live here?” He asked but in a whispered voice

“Sure”

“But you can’t tell anybody we did this! Pinky promise?” Sandman said sticking his pinky finger out

“Pinky promise” I laughed. He pulled me to a library and we walked in. It was a small library and we were the only people in there “The records are in the back but it’s closed off”

“Then how are we going to get back there?” I questioned

Sandman smiled “Watch this” He made a fist and blew towards the person at the desk making him fall asleep. “I’ll take the blame for that later”

We walked to a door behind the desk with a lock on it. Sandman just grinned and snapped his fingers making the lock open. He pulled me into the room and shut the door behind him.

The room was small with boxes in random places. Sandman started looking though all of them

“Found it!” He exclaimed handing me a book “Look though this and it will explain everything”
