An amazing discovery! One pill replaces 9 hours of sleep.The future belongs to those who do not need to sleep.The future belongs to Vigils.Homo vigilis. Vigils. A new human species that does not need any sleep to live. Vigils never needto rest, they never feel tired and as opposed to the Sleepers - ordinary humans - they don’t tendto get sick.In addition, their sense of smell is perfect. They appear to be flawless, there´s nothing lacking…...maybe except for the inability to dream. But who needs dreams for their everyday lives?A book about imagination being stronger than all knowledge, about dreams being morepowerful than reality.______I sit at the computer with great determination. I think: I've been in it from the very beginning.Who else should leave a message for future generations, if not I? Who could possibly be moreobjective? I plunge into that dreary silence. Then I draw the curtains again, make myself asickly-sweet coffee and get down to writing. Maybe my next opus will not bear the seal ofgenius, but it certainly will be noteworthy for its topic.As fate has decreed, I am in fact the only Vigil in the world who is capable of sleeping.
