[ WP ] A story from the perspective of someone not in their right mind

What? Sorry, it's been awhile since I've slept. 
 
'I said, `` Are you going to pick that up?'' You knocked over that coffee and just walked away.' 
 
 Shit. I mean, sorry. I did n't really notice. 
 
'The fuck is wrong with you man, you high or something?' 
 
 No, I've just been on the road a lot and have n't really had time to sleep in a few days. I'll clean it up if you want. 
 
'Do n't worry about it, I'll call maintenance. Get some sleep, man.' 
 
 Haha yeah I'll try. Again, sorry about that. 
 
'Whatever.' 
 
 the hallucinations usually start after 35 hours, at least in my experience. it's been about 4 days now, so yeah, it's getting bad. the coffee is the least of my problems, i dozed off while driving yesterday and almost drove over an old woman on a bicycle. or at least i think so, it may have been a dream. hard to tell when the only thing i've consumed in the last 10 hours has been 6 cups of coffee and a doughnu-HOOOONK! 
 
'Watch where you're walking asshole!' 
 
 SORRY! 
 
 sunuvabitch this is bad. i really need to get some sleep, but i have to get this package delivered. i talked to him on the phone yesterday and he said i have until friday. and it's already thursday night. if only i had n't skipped bail a few months back i'd be in a better situation. would n't have to drive across the country to deliver this FUCKING package. where are my keys? shit did i leave them in- oh yeah. dumbass. in the bag. who puts car keys in a bag of chips? did i drop them in here, or... what is that tapping? 
 
'Sir? Sir. SIR! Roll down your window please.' 
 
 the fuck? how did i get here? 
 
'Sir, open your window or step out of the vehicle. We can do this the easy way or the hard way, it's up to you.' 
 
 Yeah, sorry. Uh you want my license and registration? 
 
'You do n't need a license to drive a doughnut, sir. Do you know how fast you were snoring?' 
 
 What? Wait, what? 
 
'Do you know how long you've been asleep, sir? I saw your car here when I drove by this morning, it's been almost 3 hours now. Have you been drinking tonight, sir?' 
 
 Tonight? No. 
 
 oh fuck. 
 
 Officer? What time is it? What day is it? 
 
'It's 4 PM on Wednesday, sir. Are you alright?' 
 
 wednesday? what the fuck. wait, did i sleep through the week? have i been dreaming all- the hallucinations, is this just part of that? i need to wake up, shit shit shit, where's the package? ah fuck. 
 
'Sir? Are you okay?' 
 
 I just need a minute to clear my head, thank you officer. 
 
'If you're still here when I come by next, I'll have to take you in for loitering.' 
 
 I understand Officer. I guess I must have fallen asleep. 
 
 i'd better call him, see if i'm late or whatever the fuck is going on. i'll just close my eyes for a quick second to think this through...
