I'm somehow alive.315Please respect copyright.PENANA3oKdaTxuLo
It's strange... like I'm living in a dream.315Please respect copyright.PENANA4yBBCAbq74
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.315Please respect copyright.PENANArC9UjhY84R
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.315Please respect copyright.PENANAtRmBrILrUs
Have you ever felt so tired that you could just face-plant and fall asleep on the concrete?315Please respect copyright.PENANACOJlhT779O
Well, it was that kind of day. 315Please respect copyright.PENANAkHyc56VrDC
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.315Please respect copyright.PENANAyu5oirhxkY

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?"315Please respect copyright.PENANAmj5z7CmDXb
A voice that sounded vaguely familiar. I remember glancing at my right hand, groggy. Right, I was shopping.315Please respect copyright.PENANA8KaEPuWC8M
The sky had become pitch black, with the dim street lamps and the odd car being the only source of light.315Please respect copyright.PENANAWXS1AqLYFP
315Please respect copyright.PENANAmLG894YPDM
I remember hearing my name being called. Ah, crap.315Please respect copyright.PENANAGCnYCe3Ngl
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.315Please respect copyright.PENANABydSa9lNxM
Much less someone I know.315Please respect copyright.PENANAPXisNfThru
315Please respect copyright.PENANAP2l9UhAg4V
"...Hey. Hey..."315Please respect copyright.PENANArrj2H1Ih1F
"I'm going to call someone, okay?"
"Don't."315Please respect copyright.PENANA6gG0xVfjGZ
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.315Please respect copyright.PENANArn2UsdP5TS
315Please respect copyright.PENANAeZkdM4etkG
"You...!" 315Please respect copyright.PENANAAi3YivMR3E
I remember cursing in my head.315Please respect copyright.PENANAmGAlcrNLVn
Ah, fuck.315Please respect copyright.PENANAmC1EudP5wl
Fuck.315Please respect copyright.PENANA5uUAiQBVTE
It had to be you, didn't it.315Please respect copyright.PENANA2SoN8vy6uw

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.315Please respect copyright.PENANAYoOGStCU23
Teacher's pet.315Please respect copyright.PENANAgfBtmk3SEt
The guy that effortlessly has people around him.315Please respect copyright.PENANAXTapZONjZ9
