I'm somehow alive.191Please respect copyright.PENANAeZoBTNThED
It's strange... like I'm living in a dream.191Please respect copyright.PENANAzNU5VFoIMm
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.191Please respect copyright.PENANAFa0SqqRXvi
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.191Please respect copyright.PENANAyKPT7UMEaA
Have you ever felt so tired that you could just face-plant and fall asleep on the concrete?191Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8w45Mgoa1
Well, it was that kind of day. 191Please respect copyright.PENANAai2sTTLy9u
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.191Please respect copyright.PENANATudTLUyfi0

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?"191Please respect copyright.PENANAX5R3ugk74b
A voice that sounded vaguely familiar. I remember glancing at my right hand, groggy. Right, I was shopping.191Please respect copyright.PENANAOk8uZGlpkS
The sky had become pitch black, with the dim street lamps and the odd car being the only source of light.191Please respect copyright.PENANAcpnNnSmT94
191Please respect copyright.PENANAtNCjNnynQM
I remember hearing my name being called. Ah, crap.191Please respect copyright.PENANAve7ChjVZoE
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.191Please respect copyright.PENANAfRuwvHwRuj
Much less someone I know.191Please respect copyright.PENANASO6Rpin1Pt
191Please respect copyright.PENANAVh1fezI2Pw
"...Hey. Hey..."191Please respect copyright.PENANAlhKO7nviV5
"I'm going to call someone, okay?"
"Don't."191Please respect copyright.PENANA8vexch4lIi
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.191Please respect copyright.PENANAEHNwKoMdE3
191Please respect copyright.PENANAkFl3VS8XKA
"You...!" 191Please respect copyright.PENANAyveLsKx5gQ
I remember cursing in my head.191Please respect copyright.PENANAsSZvVkasSQ
Ah, fuck.191Please respect copyright.PENANAFLwepOTUN0
Fuck.191Please respect copyright.PENANAw69hwY2WjS
It had to be you, didn't it.191Please respect copyright.PENANAEiwoNn4pvf

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.191Please respect copyright.PENANA2KRMKr9mAJ
Teacher's pet.191Please respect copyright.PENANA2A4sCnfrnT
The guy that effortlessly has people around him.191Please respect copyright.PENANADqHsHXrRLJ
The class president.
