Sleep

The following is a story by Japanese writer Haruki Murakami. Somehow his characters seem more relatable than any I've hitherto encountered. He's awesome. If you like the story, you should give some his longer works a try. I recommend "Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World," "Wild Sheep Chase" and "Dance, Dance, Dance."

The Fall

This is the first story I ever tried to really write seriously (i.e. I wrote a beginning, middle and end, had people read and comment, edited etc.) As such, it'll be the first I post. Always a work in progress, so comments, questions, critiques and suggested changes are all welcome.
