I'm somehow alive.239Please respect copyright.PENANA6pb5i7ykm7
It's strange... like I'm living in a dream.239Please respect copyright.PENANA8d8TCqMGgL
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.239Please respect copyright.PENANA7W2uuBzZTg
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.239Please respect copyright.PENANA1M2cVWpHxn
Have you ever felt so tired that you could just face-plant and fall asleep on the concrete?239Please respect copyright.PENANAGikbyutQlO
Well, it was that kind of day. 239Please respect copyright.PENANA5aj8K5wM1p
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.239Please respect copyright.PENANAHZufuzjf1w

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?"239Please respect copyright.PENANAblbIwGdweC
A voice that sounded vaguely familiar. I remember glancing at my right hand, groggy. Right, I was shopping.239Please respect copyright.PENANAdnRv4pQjDi
The sky had become pitch black, with the dim street lamps and the odd car being the only source of light.239Please respect copyright.PENANAsW95skTAfM
239Please respect copyright.PENANAJToCbhXbFf
I remember hearing my name being called. Ah, crap.239Please respect copyright.PENANA6xgP6YWvW7
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.239Please respect copyright.PENANAAFoa0djUVB
Much less someone I know.239Please respect copyright.PENANANsXKPO8rrq
239Please respect copyright.PENANAHlMHed0xgE
"...Hey. Hey..."239Please respect copyright.PENANAg46Vc2FaEN
"I'm going to call someone, okay?"
"Don't."239Please respect copyright.PENANAuTg8RZv56V
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.239Please respect copyright.PENANAt5eEmkPpLA
239Please respect copyright.PENANAdMKyhwYuOV
"You...!" 239Please respect copyright.PENANA8SJgbHfCKc
I remember cursing in my head.239Please respect copyright.PENANApsqvkxLvoB
Ah, fuck.239Please respect copyright.PENANARkh87N9QsC
Fuck.239Please respect copyright.PENANA2ayH4cKdo6
It had to be you, didn't it.239Please respect copyright.PENANA2HWSLOLvkZ

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.239Please respect copyright.PENANAlfjDhT7TMS
Teacher's pet.239Please respect copyright.PENANAr2fvI1eqGb
The guy that effortlessly has people around him.239Please respect copyright.PENANAnWu2tInO35
The class president.
