When you die there is nothing. You go back to where you were before you were born.

No past, no future, no memory, nothing.

You will cease to be and the memory of you will fade from this universe nearly instantly.

There's a lovely peace to that...

Death is before me today Like a sick man’s recovery, Like going outdoors after confinement. Death is before me today Like the fragrance of myrrh, Like sitting under sail on breeze day. Death is before me today Like the fragrance of lotus. Like sitting on the shore of drunkenness. Death is before me today Like a well-trodden way, Like a man’s coming home from warfare. Death is before me today Like the clearing of the sky. As when a man discovers what he ignored. Death is before me today Like a man’s longing to see his home When he has spent many years in captivity

I saw it in sandman but apparently its Ancient Egyptian

It sucks how good that show was for how fucked Gaiman is.

The comics are amazing too

Their casting choice for sandman was really disappointing to me. His appearance is so distinctive and strangely dignified in the book but they cast some conventionally attractive guy with for the lack of a better term little prick vibes
