Mr Sandman in short
Mr Sandman has many skills, but no one needs a delivery boy of his age, let alone a plumber on the deserted island without drains, where he lived. Not even a single kitchen tool was present, nothing was stuck in the absent sink or toilet.
He felt exhausted and bored after all those years of throwing sand into eyes, reading the same Metro paper over and over again, while using the pages of the dictionary for hygienic reasons.
After folding a boat out of the last piece of paper and watching it sink into the sea, he decided to end it all since no one needs a sandman in the age of lack of sleep where sound asleep is considered just a fairy tale.
