Let's Exchange Our Sleepiness???I once got this crazy idea. What would happen if we could exchange our degree of sleepiness with someone else? Like you really wanna sleep but you're suffering of severe insomnia, then you could take the sleepiness from someone else. Then you can sleep using it. On the other hand if you think you're really tired but you have so many deadlines to chase, then you could take the degree of awareness (or wake-up-ness???) from someone else. And use it like a caffeine to stay all days and all nights XD. Where I propose a method for someone to be able to exchange his/her sleepiness with some awareness (awakeness) and vice versa. But how if you couldn't find any person who is willing to exchange his/her sleepiness/awareness (awakeness) with you?
And the level of sleepiness is measured using "hours"
So A will say to B, "Grrrrr, I'm so sleepy! But my boss still wants to work me out. Give me your awareness will you?"
Then B will reply, "Thanks God! Just exactly in the right time! I've been awake for almost 72 hours and I badly need some sleep before I die. Here take my insomnia! I'll take your sleepiness."
A then answered, "Sweet. How many sleepiness you wanna take? I could even give you a week of my sleepiness. Hee."
B was shocked, "WHAT
Customer: Sir, I'd like to exchange my sleepiness with some awareness (awakeness).
Banker: Sure. How long do you need the awareness (awakeness)?
Customer: About a week maybe? I've chased by deadlines.
Banker: Sure. Let's measure your sleepiness. FYI we charge 10% rate for each transaction. The currency is, you need to have 10 hours sleepiness to exchange it with 1 hour awareness (awakeness)
Customer: Damn, that's too much! Well let's just try it.
*after some few minutes.
Banker: Too bad, Sir. You don't have enough sleepiness to be exchanged to 1 week awareness.
Customer: Oh no! It's hard to believe! I feel like I could sleep till next September.
Banker: I'm sorry Sir. We can't help you now. It's really dangerous if you force it. And we the bankers are warned by potential cryogenic prison if we endanger our customer soul.
Customer: What should I do? I hardly could open my eyes now. I will walk in sleeping to go home T^T
Banker: Actually Sir, we heard government tried to apply this method to the hibernation animals.
Customer: Really? Forest is just about 15 minutes walk from the town. I think I could hunt one bear or some wolves and exchange mine with them. It's near winter already. I think it's okay for them to sleep earlier. Good kids always do that heheheh...
Banker: Uum...but government have not confirmed whether it's safe enough or not. You know... it's related to the difference of human's brain wavelength to the animal's
Customer: Nah, I'll volunteer myself as the guinea pig. Gov would be happy. I could be a hero. And the best, I could stay awake for one season and many things with that! Woohoooo
Banker: Well...please don't just tell anybody that you get this idea from me. I'm too young to be cyrogened
Customer: I'll zip my mouth. Well...have a nice day *humming song "Wake Me Up When September Ends...
Bankers: (after the customer gone, he took a walkie-talkie behind his desk and carefully whisper). The target has just left to the research forest nearby. Go stalk him. Proceed to the experimental "Hibernation Project". Be careful. Make sure there will be no witness at the moment.
The ending is kinda dark though...
please somebody take away my sleepiness...arrrghhh... NO! Don't just take it away, exchange it with your awareness (awakeness)

Prologue: Along the wind chime and cicadas...
It was a hot summer day. Such a redundant explanation. Of course summer IS supposed to be hot. To be precise it was 23th July, the genshi (peak of summer). The weather was about 39 degree Celcius. Enough to melt some ice blocks. And someone's brain as well.
"It's HAWT!" Yuina moaned. "It's HAWT! You hear me!" she kept doing that. Strangely she was the one who was sitting right in front of a whirling fan. The wind chime chimed as if deadly agreed with her.
"SHUT UP!" Mikoto spatted. She was lying on the tatami, wearing brown tank top and denim blue short pants. Feeling helpless like a dying worm. It WAS hot like a freaking hell. But there w
