I'm somehow alive.237Please respect copyright.PENANA2n1c7NiAB3
It's strange... like I'm living in a dream.237Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2SZPGtfK1
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.237Please respect copyright.PENANAjajPZPtU9G
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.237Please respect copyright.PENANARQ8WobwYJL
Have you ever felt so tired that you could just face-plant and fall asleep on the concrete?237Please respect copyright.PENANAQJ3CwfO3Rp
Well, it was that kind of day. 237Please respect copyright.PENANANO1SACH5wR
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.237Please respect copyright.PENANADJDiCsDNCD

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?"237Please respect copyright.PENANA4lK7g4HmM8
A voice that sounded vaguely familiar. I remember glancing at my right hand, groggy. Right, I was shopping.237Please respect copyright.PENANAltN6TAsQOg
The sky had become pitch black, with the dim street lamps and the odd car being the only source of light.237Please respect copyright.PENANA6l3GeZn4LW
237Please respect copyright.PENANAMk3D4uwtyL
I remember hearing my name being called. Ah, crap.237Please respect copyright.PENANA2OqVFn0zeW
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.237Please respect copyright.PENANA8PEnrxv2Fp
Much less someone I know.237Please respect copyright.PENANA7n0A1lKWOr
237Please respect copyright.PENANAArBiTVYJ3g
"...Hey. Hey..."237Please respect copyright.PENANAFd8De0OXLh
"I'm going to call someone, okay?"
"Don't."237Please respect copyright.PENANAoHVxclKQsp
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.237Please respect copyright.PENANAYKTlFktdqd
237Please respect copyright.PENANADqz6HCBrS6
"You...!" 237Please respect copyright.PENANAqnOhmkpksU
I remember cursing in my head.237Please respect copyright.PENANA9q8y2DBQcS
Ah, fuck.237Please respect copyright.PENANAnXVkitSsVJ
Fuck.237Please respect copyright.PENANAPgs5lek123
It had to be you, didn't it.237Please respect copyright.PENANAwnY5gZIHeY

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.237Please respect copyright.PENANACtj1EQbVCf
Teacher's pet.237Please respect copyright.PENANApbQhyiaIp7
The guy that effortlessly has people around him.237Please respect copyright.PENANARBYDMTnkZy
The class president.
