I'm somehow alive.166Please respect copyright.PENANAfsGrA1ey7i
It's strange... like I'm living in a dream.166Please respect copyright.PENANAOC5VG9hUtd
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.166Please respect copyright.PENANAG457ILrHpL
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.166Please respect copyright.PENANAbEnY9np2Ki
Have you ever felt so tired that you could just face-plant and fall asleep on the concrete?166Please respect copyright.PENANAaAAPScPOdU
Well, it was that kind of day. 166Please respect copyright.PENANAuzpTakOR5N
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.166Please respect copyright.PENANAkNcF2jk4Kc

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?"166Please respect copyright.PENANAe5StyuAsG7
A voice that sounded vaguely familiar. I remember glancing at my right hand, groggy. Right, I was shopping.166Please respect copyright.PENANAYdroUT9NIa
The sky had become pitch black, with the dim street lamps and the odd car being the only source of light.166Please respect copyright.PENANAimMPHccKRO
166Please respect copyright.PENANAzaVqsc59vO
I remember hearing my name being called. Ah, crap.166Please respect copyright.PENANAGGhtOT4sNK
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.166Please respect copyright.PENANAnzh6zhnGpW
Much less someone I know.166Please respect copyright.PENANAn96LUAE8jO
166Please respect copyright.PENANAsmUDTLd63c
"...Hey. Hey..."166Please respect copyright.PENANAA6reDWngzO
"I'm going to call someone, okay?"
"Don't."166Please respect copyright.PENANAh2lBBOsDbw
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.166Please respect copyright.PENANAKRMvCx01Sd
166Please respect copyright.PENANABHLUOjq75B
"You...!" 166Please respect copyright.PENANA7qKHal0x4L
I remember cursing in my head.166Please respect copyright.PENANAu7m3J55nTt
Ah, fuck.166Please respect copyright.PENANAWlgUAYpA2W
Fuck.166Please respect copyright.PENANAxt8pVHymun
It had to be you, didn't it.166Please respect copyright.PENANAJy9vyiflen

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.166Please respect copyright.PENANAxVhrHwVMdE
Teacher's pet.166Please respect copyright.PENANABNCi0yRiBk
The guy that effortlessly has people around him.166Please respect copyright.PENANAADl1t4G2la
The class president.
