It’s been 50 years since I last slept.

It’s been 50 years since I last slept. <br><br>People say it’s impossible, that humans require it to stay sane, but I know what I am. <br><br>I don’t go outside often. I know what other people will think. I’m like a ghost, haunting the streets of Tokyo I grew up in.<br><br>I’ve had 8 children, 22 grandchildren, and 34 great-grandchildren. I outlived my wife by 22 years.<br><br>I have nothing to do during the day, so I started doing extra math homework for my great-grandkids. <br><br>I’m tired. I’m tired and I want to sleep. But sleep doesn’t come. I don’t know what to do.<br><br>It’s been 50 years since I last slept.
