Prologue

My life has always been pretty dull. I wake up brush my teeth, take a shower, eat breakfast, then I read books. Ever since I was younger I have always been smarter than those around me. It wasn't a problem at first, but as I grew older other kids started to see that I was smarter than them and started to pick on me. Eventually, it got so bad my parents decided to take me out of school and homeschool me. This also happened around the time my insomnia first started to show itself. At first it wasn't to noticeable but as the years gone by my Insomnia has only gotten worse. It started with just an hour or two of less sleep. Now being 19 years old I am lucky if I get 3 or 4 hours of sleep a night. It was difficult at first but it has become easier to deal with as time has passed.

"Malachi, stop staring off into space and c'mon already," my little sister yelled at me.

We are currently standing in line to get the headsets for the new mmorpg game coming out soon. They call it Somnus Online. It is supposed to be so realistic that you even have to be careful of bleeding out and dying. As you can probably guess my little sister Chloe is excited for the new game.

"Alright, sorry sis I didn't get much sleep last night," I simply responded to her.

"You never get much sleep though," My little sister responded pouting.

After our little chat it was finally time for us to get our headsets.

"C'mon Chloe, let's go get these set up," I told my younger sister. 

"I can't wait to play this with you big bro," My younger sister replied.

When we got home we put on the head sets and started the game up.
