Miguel,

I read chapter one of Sleep.
Your style is interesting, and your short stories are thought provoking. I was hoping to read the hitch hiker because I liked the description of that story.

Please could you help us all by loading each short story as a separate chapter, it will make it much easier to review.

I found a few things for you to look at:
the bars on the window: "...preventing someone to escape." would sound better as "...preventing someone's escape."
"...he started to move in his sit..." should be "seat" rather than "sit".
"...that later on with need translation..." perhaps try "that later on would need translation..." or "...that would need translating later..."
"talking about his problems for a few long minutes now." You don't need the "now", as it also suggests present tense, but your story is in past tense.
"..take those pills they will make you sleep for sure." Since she is holding the pills in her hand, she is more likely to say "...take these pills....."

This needs brushing up, but I expect this is because you are using English as a second language. Considering that, you have done very well.

Best regards
Warrick
