Insomnia

The story behind the piece
This is about the hours that don't belong to the day or the night — the ones you spend awake while the rest of the world has the decency to be unconscious. The man reads a letter he has almost certainly read before. Above him, on the bed where he should be sleeping, sits a boulder: the weight that took his place, the thing that lies down so he can't.
Anyone who has not slept knows this stone. It has no shape you can argue with and no reason you can name. The window is open. Morning is coming whether he's rested or not. That's the cruelty and the mercy of it — the night ends regardless.
