My FORCE FIELD Mosquito Net
It may be the anti-malarial medication, which is supposed to induce very vivid dreams.... and I would sleep better if it was just medication-induced hallucinations.
But in reality, there are rats and huge lizards running around in my ceiling and occasionally in my room waking me up in the night with the pitter-patter of little feet above my head and in/near my bags. And large, loud buzzing insects...
So I have decided that in order to to preserve my ability sleep without worrying about waking up to rats as bedmates, I must hereby declare my mosquito net as a FORCE FIELD.
[What's a force field?]
I tuck in all the edges of it under the mattress to close it off from the rest of the room. And I declare it completely un-penetratible by anything. Period.
Logic would imply that if a rat can bust a hole through my walls to get into my room, he could also chew through a thin piece of netting... but not my FORCE FIELD.
That, my friends, is how I sleep at night in the IRC Guesthouse in N'Zerekore. The only problem is that it doesn't quite block out the prayer calls. I'm going to have to work on that.
