what morals (if any) does The Sleeper abide by?

Sleeper is simply a guardian of homeless and people with sleep disorders, but they are extremely protective of said individuals, even to the point of taking someone's life. And they absolutely have taken lives before. See below the Read More

Grandpa Johnson: Ah, I remember 40 years ago, at the ripe age of 32… I had been homeless for a while. To be quite honest, it was a rough time for me.

Grandkids, 18yo and 20yo: What happened? How did you live through that?

Grandpa Johnson: Well… I can certainly tell you, but I'm not sure you'd believe me. Here, let me show you something. *shows crescent-shaped scar on the back of his neck *

Grandpa Johnson: This mark, it bears an importance. It was given to me by… well, I'm not sure what it was. I want to say it was an angel, one that watched over me while I was without a place to stay. I also wasn't the only one with the mark… a handful of others I huddled up with had them too. We weren't sure what the marks were for, only that they had been given to us by our (supposedly) watchful protector. And I call it our protector for a reason: Once, me and another homeless man, Benjamin, were gathering cans and a few other recyclables to haul so we could get some spare change for food. We were caught by two cops, of whom were threatening us with arrest and joking maliciously about our situation. We ran, of course. Didn't take them long to catch up and get us on the ground to cuff us. That's when I saw it, silently floating along the pavement toward us. I knew it wasn't my imagination, because Benjamin and the cops saw it too.

Cop 1: Hey… Tim…? What the hell is THAT!!? It's coming right at us!

The creature, a floating, hunched over humanoid figure underneath a blanket, stopped. A single horn-like protrusion stuck out from underneath the blanket where the creature's head likely was, and there were two eyes glowing from within the darkness under the horn. The creature’s body was shrouded by the blanket, but part of its arms, legs, hands, and feet stuck out the bottom. Its skin was a dark rusty orange and very wrinkly, like it had been soaking in a bathtub for hours. The visible portions of its limbs gave it the appearance of being rather sickly and thin.

(Tim) Cop 2, pointing his gun at the creature: Whoever you are, don't move, or I'll shoot!

The blanketed beast's horn extended at a high speed, shooting right into Tim's right eye and piercing through to the back of his head. His body quivered violently, and the gun slipped right out of his hand, clattering onto the concrete.

Cop 1, so terrified from the attack that he had fallen onto his butt: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! TIM!!!!!!! NO!!!!

He watched as the creature’s horn slowly retracted, making a gross noise upon coming out of Tim’s eye socket. Tim’s lifeless body fell to the ground, then the creature turned to the other cop. Upon realizing the creature was looking at him, he got up as fast as he could and attempted to run. Unfortunately for him, it was already too late. The horn shot through his left leg mid-step, causing him to collapse onto the pavement in agony.

Cop 1, writhing in his blood on the concrete: Oh god….. Oh god no…… Please, no……

The grandchildren stared at grandpa Johnson in horror as he described in detail what happened to the second cop.

Grandpa Johnson: The entire experience scarred me, I just haven’t been the same since. Watching someone die that brutally really changes you, you know?

After an hour or so, the grandkids finally returned home and bid their grandpa a farewell

On the car ride home:

18yo: So… Do you think that really happened to him?

20yo: Who’s to say? The way he described it in full actually scared me! It sounded pretty real, too real. And his scar… it’s perfectly shaped, and he said other people were given the same mark.

18yo: Weird to think that angels might actually exist, huh? Haha.

20yo: Yeah… maybe…
