I'm somehow alive.265Please respect copyright.PENANAQB1BufP26p
It's strange... like I'm living in a dream.265Please respect copyright.PENANAkLihFgSjOn
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.265Please respect copyright.PENANAJHzM0dEm3p
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.265Please respect copyright.PENANAoqdH0RVMrh
Have you ever felt so tired that you could just face-plant and fall asleep on the concrete?265Please respect copyright.PENANAbjKBFthqO6
Well, it was that kind of day. 265Please respect copyright.PENANAP6UvTtprWH
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.265Please respect copyright.PENANAtIpjw0ENfa

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?"265Please respect copyright.PENANACcdq2G5mLQ
A voice that sounded vaguely familiar. I remember glancing at my right hand, groggy. Right, I was shopping.265Please respect copyright.PENANAMCg0C9EvPi
The sky had become pitch black, with the dim street lamps and the odd car being the only source of light.265Please respect copyright.PENANA7VEmFaz43x
265Please respect copyright.PENANAtGzQbSZcBh
I remember hearing my name being called. Ah, crap.265Please respect copyright.PENANA2xzADZuc8Y
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.265Please respect copyright.PENANAGgb1SRzgbN
Much less someone I know.265Please respect copyright.PENANAR3Qj78TN8Q
265Please respect copyright.PENANAN1Gk0S9KYb
"...Hey. Hey..."265Please respect copyright.PENANAs0DCgCpt41
"I'm going to call someone, okay?"
"Don't."265Please respect copyright.PENANAErwBNpurSG
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.265Please respect copyright.PENANAY5J12c9cvv
265Please respect copyright.PENANANAQs8zyRGu
"You...!" 265Please respect copyright.PENANA7JppgQmq0p
I remember cursing in my head.265Please respect copyright.PENANAKwNkZYp88V
Ah, fuck.265Please respect copyright.PENANAsRMvp0n1oT
Fuck.265Please respect copyright.PENANAHlkEOuqTnl
It had to be you, didn't it.265Please respect copyright.PENANAtUW8TG5qey

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.265Please respect copyright.PENANAwoR29XBcSG
Teacher's pet.265Please respect copyright.PENANAdXlL08ezuF
The guy that effortlessly has people around him.265Please respect copyright.PENANAuiv8Osbvi4
The class president.
