I'm somehow alive.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtNcWQXSgQ
It's strange... like I'm living in a dream.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkj38CQTPg
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.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ulZFqCBsV
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.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPL4venx6H
Have you ever felt so tired that you could just face-plant and fall asleep on the concrete?305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34OCA6YDSs
Well, it was that kind of day. 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX18X3MDoON
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.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwc5fEMPDH2

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?"305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yeapbvivT
A voice that sounded vaguely familiar. I remember glancing at my right hand, groggy. Right, I was shopping.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVD1tee3HJ6
The sky had become pitch black, with the dim street lamps and the odd car being the only source of light.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYLUJYWUwV
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjB1cf97Z4C
I remember hearing my name being called. Ah, crap.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbceZaGjztS
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.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmXWcrlkWD
Much less someone I know.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScHowfH5AU

"...Hey. Hey..."305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5e5fDawxq
"I'm going to call someone, okay?"
"Don't."305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0zekr9Nvt
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.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM8luo8zrh
305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeTSwGwgLo
"You...!" 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumFHbB6qEq
I remember cursing in my head.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSEseVnXmb
Ah, fuck.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuewwNFdGtT
Fuck.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEGAPATXoM
It had to be you, didn't it.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7CXNeoWIi

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.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCubcQlQZt
Teacher's pet.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6W80anJxHm
The guy that effortlessly has people around him.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJxgxnrNka
The class president.
