Scene 2 – Another sleepless night

Dark room. Sound of a body tossing and turning between cotton sheets. A cat meowing.

Voice over.

I am an insomniac.

I’ve always been.

At the small hours of the night, when other people are happily asleep, I’m stuck in a transitional space-time.

My eyes are closed but my mind remains active.

Camera moves closer to the bed. Zooms on the hero’s face. Eyes closed. Expression of discomfort.

I experience brief periods when my thoughts seem to slow down and I feel grateful for sinking into nothingness.
Soon after, though, I’m alert again.

Sleep seems to slip like water through my fingers.

Camera zooms out. Cat meows again.

Cut.
