    Summary

    In the year 288 A.H., a young scholar from Baghdad travels to the twilit city of Harran, a holdout of paganism where cultists give offerings of blood to the god of the night sky. He has come to study the art of astrology under the star-worshippers of the city, but finds himself entangled in an occult web which threatens his life, his faith, and his soul.

    This is the first entry in my planned series, Dreams of Distant Ages, in which I imagine how the god Sleep manifested in different civilizations throughout history.

    Summary

    "And if I agree to his, when will the inspiration come to me?" He asked.

    The form of Sleep was ever-flickering, yet he swore he sensed the faintest trace of amusement from it.

    "When the bough breaks," Sleep answered enigmatically. And then it disappeared as though it had never been there.

    . . . . .

    or the one where a lost and broken man meets a deity older than humanity in his dreams and strikes a bargain that will alter the course of his life

    Summary

    Sleep cares for their Vessels the same way an old, great yew shelters the fallen leaves at its gnarled roots. Before choosing to worship and eat the berries, each Vessel had no family to call his own. Now they have a tree.

    However, Sleep’s Vessels have a terribly human flaw, one they attempt to mask with offerings of songs, garments and lowered gazes hoping to be perceived as reverence, but in reality, to hide the bloodshot eyes cloudy with fatigue. As much as they claim otherwise, their Vessels are contradicting one of the core principles of Sleep’s message. They believe a change of scene is in order.

    Sleep decides to uproot themselves and intervene after learning of their First’s nightmarish sleepwalking, their Second’s reluctance to cease work after sundown, their Third falling asleep face first in his breakfast most mornings, and the growing dark circles under their Fourth’s eyes. They thought a change of scenery in the form of a new home would do them good, but Sleep finds they’ll have to apply themselves more if their Vessels are to be well-rested.
