Part 1 here, part 2 here
_______________
From my window I see a small black creature jumping around in the frost-covered gardens surrounding these buildings. I can tell it’s Linus, my neighbor’s cat.

From my window I see a small black creature jumping around in the frost-covered gardens surrounding these buildings. I can tell it’s Linus, my neighbor’s cat.
Suddenly, I feel jealous. His cat life is
simple. He runs after mice, eats his disgusting cat food and loves sleeping
with his fat and sweaty owner. I don’t want to disappear anymore; I want to be
a cat and live a simple life like Linus.
I’m this young and I already want to turn to
dust. Or start my life over as a cat. Damn it! I really need to get some sleep;
otherwise I’ll start talking to my lamp.
But I can’t.
I don’t want to sleep and wake up again in
this world. I just want to stand here and slowly disappear because I haven’t
slept in 200 days.
“Can one die from not sleeping?”
“Oh, I don’t know”, says my pocket
watch.
“I think I’ll try” I reply silently.
