I wish that my apartment complex would go to sleep sometime tonight. At 5am, it might be a little too much to hope. Maybe it never sleeps - always watching television, vibrations in the sink, always pounding on the wooden steps with tired bodies weighing down on tired feet. Maybe I’m the only one who sleeps in a dimension of beings who never close their eyes.
I’m almost awake for 24 hours now, and expecting myself to stay awake for 10 hours at least after I’m done reading. My hallucinations consist mainly of giant bugs crawling up my skin and on my arm pillow, but every so often I’ll fancy a flash of light to my left or a shadow taking shape in the kitchen.
I thought of an ending for my book while I was reading. It wasn’t anything particularly suggested by this book, only that it suddenly occurred to me somewhere in the 55 pages between 445 and 500.
