A Good Night’s Sleep

It’s a short story written by Brian McCabe about a teacher called Lockhart, who lives on third floor of a tenement building in Edinburgh. He is an insomniac, which is sleeplessness, that’s one problem, but what makes the problem even worse is that his neighbors make a lot of noise, especially the old man from the apartment upstairs and the couple that lives next to him. One night he cannot fall asleep, because he as mentioned before is an insomniac, and then he hears something bumping softly against his door. He is lying, thinking about lots of stuff that night, for example is he thinking about the time where he was young and was going to parties and having fun, and then he’s having troubles figuring out a subject for the nxt mornings discussion with his class. Later that night he walked out to check what it was that was making the noise against his door, and found out that a homeless girl was sitting in his staircase. He talked with her, and asked her to sleep in his son’s bed, but she refused. Later that night came his neighbor couple home from a pub or something, and then they kicked her out of the staircase. Later Lockhart lay in his bed, and could not stop thinking about her, and then he suddenly heard the noise again and knew she was there.
The story takes place in Lockharts apartment, and in the staircase outside his apartment in Edinburgh, late at night.
Lockhart, the main character is an average man living a almost normal life. He has an apartment in a tenement building in Edinburgh. He works as a teacher, teaching Communication and General Studies, and even though he’s teaching communication he seems to be very bad to communicate with others. He suffers from insomnia, which cause him to be unable to sleep. He is divorced from a woman he has a son with named Ben. He is working as a teacher, teaching communication and gen He is a sympathetic person, because he offers the homeless girl a place to sleep for the night and gives her a cigarette.
The girl is as known homeless, she’s about 20 years old, and She’s living on streets, and every night her “bed” is somewhere else than yesterday. She is not aloud to come in the hostel anymore. She has some prejudice about him, for example when he asks her to sleep in his sons bed she refuses because she think he is going to abuse her, and she also have some other prejudices.

The short story is told by a limited 3rd person narrator, because the words he or she I used, and there are no “I asked” or something like that.
And limited because its limited to on persons perspective and thoughts.
The moral with the story is maybe something with not having prejudices.
