Imagine yourself as a college freshman entering into your hostel room where you meet a senior and after initial greetings he starts to share his wierd college experience.

.

Its was the first day of college ,I was excited and scared... New environment new people..

Thank god I had my school friends who also joined the same college unfortunately they were in a different hostel and department . I was new to this... hostel life that is. May be due to presence of my friends or I wasn't that close with my family I wasn't that sad I did cry once in secret but other than that I was fine,I indulged myself with some regular overdose of Netflix and became somewhat of a loner ,my lack of social skills or my introverted nature may have played a major role I suppose but other than that I can say I had a fun, not so normal college life until that day..

It all began on 3rd week of college, by then I had developed a typical hostler sleep habit of sleeping late, I guess it was inevitable cause of all the new tv series and anime I was introduced to... My day would end at 2am and begin at 8 am... I thought 6 hours of sleep was enough for me , but boy i was sooo wrong I felt tired through out the day and fresh at night.. Maybe I was slowly turning nocturnal but whatever the anime and tv series were fun so no questions asked . Then this thing started to happen from 3rd day of the 3rd week of college I started to hear an alarm sharply at 6 am, for someone who sleeps at 2am it was annoying as a matter of fact it would have been to any other person who enjoys a good night sleep... This lasted for weeks at first i tried to sleep through it but it was all in vein after 2 weeks i got super annoying and fed-up I got up from my bed and smashed my roommate's phone/alarm against the wall maybe I was also yelling at that time all my roommates woke up and started screaming at me.

Roommate 1/phone owner: what the fuck asshole whats the matter with you?!!

And I also couldn't control myself I shoted out

"you are the real asshole here keeping an alarm so early in the morning even though you don't get up whats with you huh?! "

May be I was a bit crazy... Smashing a some what stranger's phone on the wall what was I thinking... But that wasn't the real problem the real problem was the statement he gave next

Roommate 1: what alarm ?!! Are u nuts?!!

Roommate 2: yeah man whats the big plan screeming crazy in the morning there was no alarm to begin with....

I was stunned I couldn't think for a second... roommate 1 was furious and kept cursing me roommate 2 tried to console him

I akwardly apologized " sorry man... totally my bad I will get that fixed by tomorrow I promise "

And I did as I promised no use having an angry roommate around, you see...

But rumors spread around and I got weird looks everywhere but who care as an introvert

That was the least of my problems

But I kept thinking about the alarm that was kinda freaky anyways that night I went to bed hope for a good night sleep after a day full of drama... But... Yet again the alarm was ringing

I was scared shitless and furious I got up from my bed check every other persons phone in my room.... And... Guess what none had an alarm set in... I couldn't think of anything... I wasn't a spiritual person nor did I believed in ghosts but the situation I was in made me doubt my own theories... But I didn't want to believe that so I went to a doctor.... But what he said made my doubts even stronger...

He said it was a typical case of lack of sleep

And gave me some sleeping pills.. I wanted to believe in his words and hopped he was right about this... And first time in my life prayed to god before going to bed then took my pills and went to bed in hopes of some sleep but as usual I couldn't sleep till it was way past midnight and got up to the same sound of alarm thats been messing with me since the beginning of this academic year... As days past by I tried to get used to 4hrs of sleep but thing kept getting worse... I couldn't sleep before 3am and days went by 3 became 4 and 4 became 5 and one fine day 5 became 6 ... I slowly grew insane.I couldn't see properly

I couldn't think properly I couldn't hear properly. I couldn't speak properly not like I needed it any way heh.. Regardless of how many pills i took the problem remained the same after a few days i couldn't even shut my eyes for a second I would hear the alarm

My mind was in chaos like I was in a room full of alarm constantly ringing trying to wake me up from an illusion... But at that point I couldn't differenciate reality and illusion anymore... I became extremely desperate

I envied every living soul who could sleep as a matter of fact I even envied the dead who are enjoying their eternal slumber... As time flew I even lost my sense of touch... All my sense were gone I was like a hollow shell waiting ...waiting for a day to come... A day when I would enjoy a good hour sleep or even would have been fine... But the day never came... I wanted to feel something.. Anything.. So started to hurt myself ...cuts here and there.. It was nice to feel pain the only sense i was left with... But as time went on and on few cuts weren't enough and the alarm sound would ring even when i was awake ,constant sounds of alarm ringing swallowing the little sanity I was left and on 13 th day of November I decided.. I am done with all of this... I am gonna sleep tonight no matter what.. I don't care if its for few secs or few minutes or few hours or... For an eternity.... So i took a hot and steamy bath prepared my bed laid my body down rapped it with a nice clean and warm blanket and closed my eyes..... After a few seconds as i was in same position i just extended only my right hand toward the table, and took a cool looking pocket Knife which my roommate used to cut apple and drove it straight through my heart... Blood slowly left my body and drenched my clean and comfy bed and blanket , my pillow was no exception I could feel the warmth leaving my body and darkness closing in but I didn't feel any pain or regret I was just up for a good nights sleep may be for eternity as I left my last breath I just said "go.. o.d n.. ig.. ht"

And never drew a breath again I was at peace

....

But then this thing happened I heard an fucking alarm AGAIN!!! and woke to see my dead body and a translusent me flowing in the air and a fucking alarm clock near me ringing like crazy but the wierd thing was that it was floating ...and translucent then I realized ,I don't give a shit and smashed it into slithering and again went back to sleep...

You may wonder why I am saying all this to you... Well because I am bored and since we share the same bed or to say same location of bed at least I thought we could be friends and thats why please have good nights sleep... cause it maybe your last I suppose..HA....HA...HAHA...HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
