N is for Narcissist*
There are
three hundred-sixty-five days in a year, twenty-four hours in a day, sixty
minutes in an hour and sixty seconds in those minutes. If you’re average, eight
hours of those minutes and seconds are spent sleeping. But I’m not average. I
can make it all happen on five. Which means three additional hours, or one
hundred-eighty minutes, or ten thousand eight hundred seconds and that’s just
one day. Imagine adding up a whole year. You’re talking three million, nine
hundred forty-two thousand additional seconds of me, doing my thing. No wonder
I’m so much better than you.

case you’re offended, this is a work of fiction. J
But I bet you're more tired than I am.
ReplyDeleteOh, I could slap that narcissist!
ReplyDeleteFiction but then maybe I do sleep too much - dreaming of being heroic.
ReplyDeleteWell, you are sure one heck of a lot better in math than I am and that is just not a narcissist's rambling braggadocio statement.
ReplyDeleteHaha, I was totally going along with this up until the last sentence! I would just want that extra time to get things done...
ReplyDeleteThe last sentence made it all clear.
ReplyDeleteA perfect narcissist!
ReplyDeleteAh, but I use my common sense and get enough sleep!
ReplyDeleteI usually don't get 8 but it's close. Five is really unhealthy for most people but I bet you couldn't convince this character of that.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha- I love that you added in that this piece was fiction.
ReplyDelete☺ Great piece. Too bad I love sleep so much. I didn't realized I was depriving the world of greatness!
ReplyDeleteLOL! I'm still chuckling - cheeky and fun.

Oh my gosh, you pretty much nailed that. I can so see that as a brief monologue in a script. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure everyone who needs less sleep than I do is better than me. For sure they get more done!
ReplyDeleteWow, talk about a superiority complex! I wonder what great works he's doing in those hours.
ReplyDeleteI can't remember the specifics but Arnold Schwarzenegger says he only sleeps a couple of hours a night because he wants to be able to get more done. I'm not sure that's a good life, though. Sleep is fun!
ReplyDeleteHaha! Love it! So, what your'e saying that if I actually think like this I'm a narcissist? I thought it just meant I was confident *winks*

Cute post. You had me right up until the last line. I've actually been researching narcissistic personality disorder for one of my characters. I just dropped by from the challenge to say hi, and am glad I did. I will be back to read more.
