Nikolai Gogol (Fyodor pov)

It was mid-January, the New Year holidays had already passed and it was damp and dreary outside again. Fyodor and Nikolai lived together in the same apartment in an old high-rise building in St. Petersburg. At night, Fyodor (you) again could not fall asleep due to insomnia and frequent nightmares, he tossed around on the bed for some time trying to fall asleep, but it was all to no avail. With a heavy sigh, the guy got up and went into the next room where his friend Nikolai was sleeping. He quietly entered the room and looked at Nikolai sleeping peacefully in the dim light of the street lamps.
