Woman # 13 (illustrated by Kai Martin)

After the car accident, Brant Tucker carries Charlene through a snow storm to a quaint inn, where they are helped with their injuries. Brant is given something to drink and passes out.

When he wakes up he finds Charlene in the inn, at a table, listening to stories.

Mister Gaheris tells the story of a man named Robert who, loves his city and, while wandering through his city on his lunch break, find a silver road. He walks upon the road and finds only an alley.

That evening he missed his regular train and so he takes takes a later train home. He finds himself alone on the train with a tall, thin, pale man with wild hair dressed all in black. His eyes are like pools of night.

Robert realizes that the train is not stopping at any of the regular stations and so once the train finally stops he quickly exits and he finds himself on an unfamiliar street, in a city he doesn’t recognize. He wanders throughout this new city hoping to find a shimmering archway, door or street that will return him to the city he knows and loves.

While wandering through the city he meets woman and while talking to her he notices a doorway that he didn’t recognize. He rushed through the door before it could disappear and found himself in the city he was familiar with.

This woman was one of the first two people he encountered when came back to the city.

She appears in Sandman # 51, on page 22, in panel 6.
