ANASTASIA
I couldn’t sleep a wink after I returned to my flooded room. You’d have thought that the flooded room would bother but it was the last thing on my mind as I laid in the bed that thankfully hadn’t been submerged in the pool of water. There was nowhere else I could go to sleep in the middle of the night; neither was I in the mood the spend the rest of the night in the midst of other humans at that point in time.
