Everyone is asleep but him... For only in his eyes there is no sleep at all.

Many days ago, a strange feeling rose within him... Since that day, the 
feeling kept on poking all his brain cells. The feeling made him believe 
strongly that something bad would occur on the Earth very soon... But what 
that 'bad thing' would be, on the day of event, he could not figure out by 
simple thinkings. So recently he went through an intense meditation to figure 
out the 'bad thing' more perfectly, but again, he did not succeed. This made 
the feeling intensify to such an extent, he started suffering from insomnia 
and restlessness. Black deposits formed below his eyes, his eyes became 
reddened, and he became weaker than before. Regarding all these matters, his 
relatives became extremely worried.
     One day they told him, 'Go to a doctor, he will try to bring you out 
from this state of yours; it will be good for you. Besides, you are old now.' 
But making them disappointed, he said, 'It will be of no use. No one, not 
even a good doctor, will be able to bring me out from this state. If anyone 
can, he is me.'
     He said it with so much confidence, his relatives could not say anything 
more.

For a long time he was seated on his bed... Now he started to feel that his 
whole body is becoming stiff. He stretched his arms and legs, and got down 
from his bed. 'No... This is not going well... I must go to take a walk 
outside.'
