Missing piece
I took me four hours to complete the next chapter. I added it, while being thrilled that my story develops smoothly and then, crawled to bed using what was left of my strength.

In the bag left by Tom I found sleeping pills. He must had known that I would have troubles with closing my eyes peacefully. I took one. They were strong enough to make me fall asleep couple of minutes later.I slept for fourteen hours and still, woke up feeling exhausted. I couldn’t tell if it was because of my physical or mental condition… I felt pathetic. I was writing about strong, determined characters while being this weak.

I couldn’t sleep. I kept thinking if the person who hacked my computer could equally easily break into my phone, building’s CCTV, or who knows where else… Was he really watching me that moment? Or was it me being paranoid…?I used my last sleeping pill to close my eyes for, at least, couple of hours but sleep was unable to help me recover from anxiety. I decided not to turn on my laptop for a while. I knew I might act unreasonably but it helped me feel less uneasy… for a while.
