Chapter 347
At first I had no idea what was going on. I checked the plug to see if I disconnected it. Checked to see if the light at the front of the computer indicated that it was on. Moved the mouse again in case it was asleep. Suddenly, after thirty seconds of thinking I destroyed my computer, a different screen pops up.
I could see the mouse moving on its own so I unplugged mine and simply watched without touching it. I was struggling to understand what was going on. I was about to turn my computer off when the mouse started opening a file that had my name on it. I was hooked as there were dozens of video feeds saved in the file.
