  About an arc in                              From comments on
  Neil Gaiman's                                rec.arts.comics.misc
  "The Sandman"...
                                                SERIAL_LIVING

                                                   AMBER_GRAINS


                  And, it's obvious that currently
                  Gaiman is telling a story about
                  stories... but what is it that     SATIRE
                  Gaiman wants to say about them?

                  There's a framing sequence about
                  an inn called "The Worlds' End",             POV
                  where everyone present tells
                  different stories, and they all
                  insist that they're merely
                  killing time.

                  It's clear they "protest too much",
                  but what more important function
                  might they be performing?

                      Defining the boundaries
                      of the world...

                          Or worlds.
