Sleep
is the best. John loves sleep, from the bottom of his soul. It's probably the
best way to escape this fucked up world, and if there were ever a way to sleep through
all this mess, John would be the first to try it. When he sleeps, he escapes
the world, he escapes his world, and at the same time he escapes his mind.
Because when his mind becomes darker than the night, there is no place too far
from it where he'd rather be. And sleep, the simplest thing in the world,
offers the easiest solution. What better escape from everything than a good old
complete shutdown of the brain, what better place to hide from a shitstorm than
Johns subconscious.
And the
best part, the most beautiful part about sleeping are, of course, dreams. John
is a dreamer, an idealist, and the only place where something could go right
for him is of course in his sleep. With every dream comes another world and all
he has to do when things go bad is to wake up. Just like that, everything goes
away and he's free to sleep himself back to another reality, a better reality.
Nothing is real in his dreams, so nothing can hurt John, no scars nor bruises
when he wakes up, no problems to solve, no situations to be dealt with. Just
complete and utter freedom of thought and imagination.
But
wait, just wait. Because the real world, as usual, has to step in and screw
everything out. Because that's what it does, this twisted reality in which the
entire planet cohabitates. It screws with Johns plans, it breaks his world,
breaches the walls of his dreams and pulls him out to face the reality of how
fucked up he really is. Because everything that goes right in his dreams, goes
wrong in his reality, and even worse in the real world. And the worst part, of
course, is that you can't wake up from reality.
The
only thing you can do, the only thing John can do is go back to sleep. Escape
one nap at a time, one small universe after another, shattered one by one by
the sound of an alarm clock louder than a bomb and built again the next night,
until there will be no more clock, and no more time, and Johns sleep will be
eternal. But we all know that this won't happen too soon, because this little
fucker, John by his name, is meant to walk this earth forever and drown forever
in his mind of which we've talked over and over till now.
