FIVE-MINUTE FICTIONS: The Sleep Box


I was fascinated to some across this image of a Sleep Box, a little booth complete with wi-fi, a mattress, and sheets that are changed that may be findable in many public places someday. It was designed by architects Alexei Goryainov and Michail Krymov of Moscow's Arch Group to provide a safe sleeping space for people in emergency situations and a secure, hygienic rest spot for travelers in airports. All that real life stuff aside, they're little settings justing waiting for fiction.


So: take five minutes and write a little fiction about something that happens in, around, or because of a Sleep Box.

For extra credit, fit it into an existing genre: romance, erotica, sci-fi, mystery, thriller.

For extra-extra credit with a cherry on top, make it a Western.
