S.L.E.E.P

AD X022. Earth. EARTHLINGS ARE EVOLVED FORMS. THE DISTINCTIONS THAT
SEPARATED ONE SPECIES FROM THE OTHER DISINTEGRATED MILLENIA AGO.
The ancients termed such an existence ‘anthropomorphism’.

But even with evolution, we could never truly get rid of hunger.
The hunger for power. And the structures that boxed as away as
‘the rich’ and ‘everyone else’.

It might not take you too long
to guess that I belong in the
‘everyone else’ box (and that I am
an anthropomorphic dog).
Mental illness is something us
‘everyone elses’ have a tendency
for. We simply can’t help it.
I am no different. Try living in a
world that has forgotten the sun
and working in customer care!
But thank heavens! (yes, some of us
still say that) We have s.l.e.e.p. The
best thing to happen ever.
Imagine if music was medicine!
well, music is medicine now.

SIGH.
DEAL WITH THAT
WHEN THE TIME
COMES. STILL GOT
5 DAYS.

TIME TO GET BACK TO MY
MUSIC. TO MY S.L.E.E.P.
TO MY. EUPHORIA.

GOODBYE REALITY.

WHAT PEACE FEELS
LIKE...?
I DON’T EVER
WANNA GO BACK...

IS THIS...
I WISH I COULD
STAY HERE
FOREVER...

WELCOME, PEACE.

TODAY?
HI! YOU’VE
REACHED
BLINX! HOW
CAN I BE OF
HELP?

yet another mind-numbing
workday. another day of
slaving away in my box.

I’m afraid
I have
distressing
news...
I’m afraid there isn’t much
you can do about it mr. grey.
s.l.e.e.p can perhaps delay
the outcome.
the reality is, you
have but a few
years more

THAT FIRST TIME I
TRIED S.L.E.E.P... IT
WAS THE FIRST TIME
I FELT LIGHT In THE
LONGEST TIME
SO LIGHT I COULD
DRIFT AWAY.
UNBURDENED.
UNSHACKLED...

WHO COULD BLAME ME
FOR BEFRIEDING THIS
FEELING?
THIS PAINLESS,
BLAMELESS EXISTENCE
OR LACK THEREOF?...

and so life goes on
day after day...

HI! YOU’VE
REACHED
BLINX! HOW
CAN I BE OF
HELP?

HI! YOU’VE

SIGH..
LOOKS LIKE
I WILL HAVE
TO TAKE CARE
OF THIS
TODAY

YOU’RE
UP NEXT,
DOG.
OKAY. HERE GOES.

WHAT! THATS... UNFAIR!
I SHOULDN’T BE MADE TO
PAY WITH MEMORIES.

I’LL BE LOST WITHOUT
THEM...
THEY’RE THE ONLY THINGS
LEFT TO REMIND ME OF ME...
I GUESS I SHOULD’VE
KNOWN... THAT REALITY
IS UNFAIR
