I'm somehow alive.238Please respect copyright.PENANAeIK80DnD2E
It's strange... like I'm living in a dream.238Please respect copyright.PENANAXHFihl5Vn2
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.238Please respect copyright.PENANA4zaKxk268y
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.238Please respect copyright.PENANAtOOKyQoKWP
Have you ever felt so tired that you could just face-plant and fall asleep on the concrete?238Please respect copyright.PENANA5812VgzI2z
Well, it was that kind of day. 238Please respect copyright.PENANA61Wp3yBMDt
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.238Please respect copyright.PENANAELfqHVZVWM

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?"238Please respect copyright.PENANAjNDm1u9SXD
A voice that sounded vaguely familiar. I remember glancing at my right hand, groggy. Right, I was shopping.238Please respect copyright.PENANAe0ohv56Yv7
The sky had become pitch black, with the dim street lamps and the odd car being the only source of light.238Please respect copyright.PENANAkvhZSaqQRy
238Please respect copyright.PENANArNt5mDa2su
I remember hearing my name being called. Ah, crap.238Please respect copyright.PENANAOd0qFqjvBJ
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.238Please respect copyright.PENANARmL9cITeZf
Much less someone I know.238Please respect copyright.PENANAWly1jUFuEI
238Please respect copyright.PENANAXXf6yXJN9H
"...Hey. Hey..."238Please respect copyright.PENANADuf4OwwDrm
"I'm going to call someone, okay?"
"Don't."238Please respect copyright.PENANAGqmOmLrMcr
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.238Please respect copyright.PENANA97AXtdmTnw
238Please respect copyright.PENANAiuvKOplA3S
"You...!" 238Please respect copyright.PENANAYEKSD67UGe
I remember cursing in my head.238Please respect copyright.PENANAJxsxzcEjuw
Ah, fuck.238Please respect copyright.PENANAyOn3kyvfeF
Fuck.238Please respect copyright.PENANAYDonvEIqbq
It had to be you, didn't it.238Please respect copyright.PENANAnPVGkYu8QL

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.238Please respect copyright.PENANAlSH3e7zvg9
Teacher's pet.238Please respect copyright.PENANAvAVL9VF1uj
The guy that effortlessly has people around him.238Please respect copyright.PENANAStH7GKQBHQ
The class president.
