Chapter 3

His eyelids were heavy, like he’d slept only for few minutes rather than hours and he was really fighting with himself to open his eyes. The sun was shining brightly into his room, making him wonder how he hadn’t woken up sooner. The light usually making him too irritated to stay in bed for more than half an hour after sunrise. He was in weird state of mind now, the type that blends suffering with somehow enjoying being miserable. He felt like it’s what he deserves. He really has to find something to do or else he will end up in this state for good few months like last time.

Chapter 2

She had trouble breathing at the point she reached turbines, the dust mixed up with sweat blocked her access to fresh air and she really wanted to take off her mask to get few seconds of air. But she knew it wasn’t going to work. That mask was the only thing protecting her from harmful fumes surrounding the wreckage that were far more dangerous for her than dust. She had seen the men and women, working on wreckages without any protecting layer, that after years began to cough blood after their skin turned permanently to that ugly shade of grey. They had been dying slowly and painfully over the years. She swore she wouldn’t let that happen to her.
