      "Sleep, pretty darlings, do not cry,

      And I will sing a lullaby.

      Lullaby, lullaby, the Sandman am I."

      Brothers Grimm

      The Sandman came into Tommy's room last night to put the fairy-dust in Tommy's eyes and it burnt like pepper. Then Tommy had strange dreams, the walls were alive and moving, little shadows became huge terrors. Out in the dark, other worlds became his. 

      The children whimper when the Sandman comes, and sometimes try to tell.

      Then the staff lie to visitors and say They're sick children, they don't know what's good for them, when the children speak out.

      They think Tommy's just a kid, something to be toyed with and experimented upon, but Tommy will stop them one day.

      *

      The room had white tiles, light blue walls, and closed curtains. Medical instruments, syringes and bottles of strange liquids were arrayed in neat rows on the bench. It looked clean and smelt of antiseptics, sterile like a morgue. 

      Everything was vivid under the hot glow of a hundred watt light-bulb.
