Summary
The rumor that Hob Gadling, the human who tricked Death herself into granting him immortality, has finally decided he's lived long enough and consented to die is sweeping through the supernatural community like wildfire. It even spreads to the Dreaming, where Dream handles it about as well as could be expected.
It is, to say the least, a bit of a shock to Hob Gadling himself, who is still very much alive- and increasingly in need of rescue.

Summary
The manner in which an animal routinely casts off a part of its body (often, but not always, an outer layer or covering), either at specific times of the year, or at specific points in its life cycle.
The door swings open, and Hob looks up, as automatic as a blink or a breath. He’s not expecting anything. It’s been three months and four days, six hours and thirty-nine minutes, and all he had been told was more than once a century.
Dream is standing in the doorway.
He looks like hell.

Summary
“See you next Tuesday, bright and early, where we’ll - bye Priya, thank you- we’ll-,”
He waves the last few out, the hall stuttering into silence as he sighs.
“We’ll find out if the book is half as good as the dream,”
_________________The Prince of Stories takes an interest in the lectures of one Dr Robert Gadling (PhD), particularly his thoughts on the ‘hideous progeny’ of Mrs Mary Shelley.
It's purely academic, of course.

Summary

“Yes. God, yes, I would have. Of course, I would have."
Hob learns where his friend has been, and even Dream of the Endless might, on rare occasion, need a hand.
