I am a dire wolf, prey-stalking, lethal prowler.
I am a hunter, horse-mounted, wolf-stabbing.
I am a horsefly, horse-stinging, hunter-throwing.
I am a spider, fly-consuming, eight legged.
I am a snake, spider-devouring, poison-toothed.
I am an ox, snake-crushing, heavy-footed.
I am an anthrax, butcher bacterium, warm-life destroying.
I am a world, space-floating, life-nurturing.
I am a nova, all-exploding… planet-cremating.
I am the Universe—all things encompassing, all life embracing.
I am anti-life, the beast of judgement. I am the dark at the end of everything. The end of universes, gods, worlds… of everything. Sss. And what will you be then dreamlord?
I am hope.

Ah, another fan of Neil Gaiman's Sandman.
Personally, I liked the Orpheus sections ("Brief Lives") better.
:-)
Oddly enough, I've never read Sandman. I recently encountered this as a banner ad for Obama-Clinton. Was wondering where it came from.
'Was it for the Clinton campaign or the Obama campaign?
I'm surprised they didn't give credit. DC Comics and Gaiman should sue.
Aside: Having dealt with tertiary-level students here, I am surprised at the tolerance, even acceptance, of plagiarism. Common excuses: "too busy / lazy to cite sources"; "too many assignments." Anything to justify intellectual theft.
*rolls eyes*
With a tagline like "I am Hope" it definitely isn't Clinton.
I didn't see accreditation though.
Hi Khayce,
My first though was "Why Khyace never attribute? He should know better." Yes it's from Sandman and Neil Gaiman himself picked up on this some time ago. Link here: http://journal.neilgaiman.com/2008/03/little-bit-of-politics.html
Hope all is well

Yes, main text no attribute. I believe the comments section sufficient?
