I'm somehow alive.190Please respect copyright.PENANA5Z2oCs3E7c
It's strange... like I'm living in a dream.190Please respect copyright.PENANAlBruhBdUtN
I feel my body isn't mine. Like I'm somehow in control of my body but from a third perspective. My mind isn't focusing on anything, just a numb feeling of emptiness.
While feeling like that the other day, my primal fear of actually losing everything managed to spur me to go out to buy food from the supermarket.190Please respect copyright.PENANA9sS5kUzIq4
My savings were going down, fast. My fridge was empty, and ordering delivery was no longer a choice.
It was a long walk. I bought a bunch of microwave food and things that were easy to cook. The bag felt like a deadweight.190Please respect copyright.PENANA1ruIl3D4WO
Have you ever felt so tired that you could just face-plant and fall asleep on the concrete?190Please respect copyright.PENANAAbIHQzFhSL
Well, it was that kind of day. 190Please respect copyright.PENANApmx0FnDdCl
As if the me watching from a third perspective had left the controller, and my character could no longer stand.
It was getting dark, so I sat down by a lamp post, and shut my eyes.190Please respect copyright.PENANACWlFP522sK

I didn't know how much time had passed, but a shake of my shoulders woke me up.
I don't really want to describe what happened next, but I guess I won't be around to feel embarrassed when anyone reads this.
"Hey, are you alright?"190Please respect copyright.PENANAvSlDPqs6AS
A voice that sounded vaguely familiar. I remember glancing at my right hand, groggy. Right, I was shopping.190Please respect copyright.PENANAO2ZwO0zyNL
The sky had become pitch black, with the dim street lamps and the odd car being the only source of light.190Please respect copyright.PENANAXVDtUH2jvU
190Please respect copyright.PENANAZEu9LzISp0
I remember hearing my name being called. Ah, crap.190Please respect copyright.PENANAaKOkQiaTtk
I didn't want anyone to see me like this. At the lowest of the low. Pitying me, who doesn't deserve a drop of pity.190Please respect copyright.PENANAsUjLNi9Ky0
Much less someone I know.190Please respect copyright.PENANAJsPeCCLHNj
190Please respect copyright.PENANApa5DD6CL2S
"...Hey. Hey..."190Please respect copyright.PENANADVDD80xokk
"I'm going to call someone, okay?"
"Don't."190Please respect copyright.PENANAY58COZhLOU
I got up. Stumbled up. A little too fast - so I reached towards the post to steady myself again. But not before my arm was grabbed.190Please respect copyright.PENANA0TZftTxllJ
190Please respect copyright.PENANArgF4G18YeI
"You...!" 190Please respect copyright.PENANA7sYbjKv9n6
I remember cursing in my head.190Please respect copyright.PENANA1q2ePSYnYI
Ah, fuck.190Please respect copyright.PENANALi7JMwJ135
Fuck.190Please respect copyright.PENANAALbdwyGh38
It had to be you, didn't it.190Please respect copyright.PENANAe8u7unm0lV

Looking back, I don't want to admit it, but if it were anyone else, I might not be here, writing this now.
But needless to say, I was looking at the face of Mr. Perfect.190Please respect copyright.PENANAx3Nx2h6Fku
Teacher's pet.190Please respect copyright.PENANATb1YOwglTG
The guy that effortlessly has people around him.190Please respect copyright.PENANAvt0jW3ngAG
The class president.
