I'm somehow alive.264Please respect copyright.PENANAdlr8iKOzmK
It's strange... like I'm living in a dream.264Please respect copyright.PENANApHoIFsMqAC
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.264Please respect copyright.PENANAmfEWahitiN
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.264Please respect copyright.PENANAG0MifheEAM
Have you ever felt so tired that you could just face-plant and fall asleep on the concrete?264Please respect copyright.PENANAAAXlRU5sQr
Well, it was that kind of day. 264Please respect copyright.PENANAr8HxlmlsFB
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.264Please respect copyright.PENANAKgXzDHCKxN

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?"264Please respect copyright.PENANAmMjQtfd827
A voice that sounded vaguely familiar. I remember glancing at my right hand, groggy. Right, I was shopping.264Please respect copyright.PENANAPN4L1Ge0Sf
The sky had become pitch black, with the dim street lamps and the odd car being the only source of light.264Please respect copyright.PENANAsK73ItKbnr
264Please respect copyright.PENANAJtjoTZ14L3
I remember hearing my name being called. Ah, crap.264Please respect copyright.PENANAIHD1pBUMJX
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.264Please respect copyright.PENANAmn6spZAjUZ
Much less someone I know.264Please respect copyright.PENANAQyoScHx8MD
264Please respect copyright.PENANAzjgvQYvgqQ
"...Hey. Hey..."264Please respect copyright.PENANAkkqumK2x9v
"I'm going to call someone, okay?"
"Don't."264Please respect copyright.PENANAHIGshLXpBz
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.264Please respect copyright.PENANAEtxEvIpSmB
264Please respect copyright.PENANAsecjWCIEjw
"You...!" 264Please respect copyright.PENANAVK2ysiiDqn
I remember cursing in my head.264Please respect copyright.PENANA8CIAkOaxDR
Ah, fuck.264Please respect copyright.PENANAGgjlxYw6LA
Fuck.264Please respect copyright.PENANALoeth371yN
It had to be you, didn't it.264Please respect copyright.PENANA0swEVr0lDX
264Please respect copyright.PENANAJiePjKkhq2
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.264Please respect copyright.PENANAoG48YFqpG0
Teacher's pet.264Please respect copyright.PENANAEfckawQgwa
The guy that effortlessly has people around him.264Please respect copyright.PENANARZK6HeKPHQ
The class president.
