Description

In a dreamlike narrative, the story unfolds through the eyes of a character who slips into a deep slumber at the dawn of World War I. This extraordinary sleep, spanning two world wars and the unsettling silence that follows, creates a backdrop for exploring themes of time, memory, and the echoes of humanity's turbulent past. The world outside continues to unravel, while the character's descent into sleep offers a unique perspective on the unfolding chaos.

As the narrative weaves together historical events with surreal elements, the character's journey challenges the boundaries between reality and imagination. The juxtaposition of moments of stillness against the backdrop of conflict allows for a profound reflection on the nature of existence, identity, and the enduring search for meaning in an ever-changing world. Ultimately, the tale invites readers to contemplate the powerful impact of sleep, dreams, and the cyclical nature of human experience.
