Sleep for Sale

Han is having troble sleeping on bed. He is tossing and turning in bed on his back, and his cell phone is beside the pillow with its battery dead.

He sighs for the third time, finally decides to get up.

He puts the cell phone on charge. Moments later, the phone wakes up too.

“Having trouble sleeping?”, the sceen lights up with these words. It seems the phone knows everything.

With a shock, Han grabes the phone, 3 am. It turns out that it is just a commercial window.

Han clicks the red cross with a hard finger tip. The window opens up.

“Sleep for Sale!”

“Want to earn some money? Sell your sleep.”

“Having trouble on sleep? Buy some.”

Han smirks, “The sleeping pills I’ve taken can kill a horse, and it never works. You must be joking.”

However, he did not turn off the screen.

Han gazes at the bottom of the screen, “Call xxx, for more information.”

Before he knows it, he has dialed.

An energetic voice is coming from the phone “SFS, Sleep for sale, how can I help you, Sir.”

“You mean I can buy sleep, then I can go to sleep easily?”

“Yes, Sir. But in your case, I suggest that you can sell your sleep instead.”

“But I do not have any sleep to sell.”

“No worry, Sir. After you sell your sleep, you will no need to sleep at all.”

“No side effects?”

“No Sir.”

“On what condition?”

“Totally safe. Meanwhile we will pay you an amount of money.”

“Great. How much?”

“Depends on the quailty.”

“OK. By the way, how does that work?”

“Please come to our company at xxx. It is just a minor non-invasive procedure. It is 24 hours, 7days a week.”

“Will it hurt?”
