I'm somehow alive.265Please respect copyright.PENANAlcKlZyer51
It's strange... like I'm living in a dream.265Please respect copyright.PENANAXX9qwLWqyW
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.PENANAUW5Y2OZmQj
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.PENANAyYThFCNi9H
Have you ever felt so tired that you could just face-plant and fall asleep on the concrete?265Please respect copyright.PENANAuLdruJ6K7W
Well, it was that kind of day. 265Please respect copyright.PENANAUkIsISARrN
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.PENANANVMeosJtV6

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.PENANAgo374AluV2
A voice that sounded vaguely familiar. I remember glancing at my right hand, groggy. Right, I was shopping.265Please respect copyright.PENANA1qwAXX1ZH7
The sky had become pitch black, with the dim street lamps and the odd car being the only source of light.265Please respect copyright.PENANAJHS8Ifol1h
265Please respect copyright.PENANAJchFn26evy
I remember hearing my name being called. Ah, crap.265Please respect copyright.PENANAUW5lR7Nx8U
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.PENANAsfNc9UN43S
Much less someone I know.265Please respect copyright.PENANAzIbft0FJXR
265Please respect copyright.PENANAMhoWygqVeF
"...Hey. Hey..."265Please respect copyright.PENANAoouk1TkOFr
"I'm going to call someone, okay?"
"Don't."265Please respect copyright.PENANAcREuiqh7RJ
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.PENANAWg3jmP3reR
265Please respect copyright.PENANARZnUV07suW
"You...!" 265Please respect copyright.PENANAfEhnVUZ7W1
I remember cursing in my head.265Please respect copyright.PENANA2A1D5M80qh
Ah, fuck.265Please respect copyright.PENANAWaX3Ju1gtg
Fuck.265Please respect copyright.PENANAuho390YeHL
It had to be you, didn't it.265Please respect copyright.PENANAUTD5Dfm8dk

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.PENANAEgaOzgUvFV
Teacher's pet.265Please respect copyright.PENANA6WgRykTgrV
The guy that effortlessly has people around him.265Please respect copyright.PENANAxT83Gh3PjF
The class president.
