I'm somehow alive.238Please respect copyright.PENANA95wjOUaqtH
It's strange... like I'm living in a dream.238Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4TxNSKziL
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.238Please respect copyright.PENANA6KjYGb08n8
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.238Please respect copyright.PENANAsJF79ahNDv
Have you ever felt so tired that you could just face-plant and fall asleep on the concrete?238Please respect copyright.PENANAlrtL9rMlF9
Well, it was that kind of day. 238Please respect copyright.PENANAmGPNeFuM9N
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.238Please respect copyright.PENANAiy6y2anAWI

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?"238Please respect copyright.PENANAzeCOZMP3iN
A voice that sounded vaguely familiar. I remember glancing at my right hand, groggy. Right, I was shopping.238Please respect copyright.PENANAgSmtoV2Hmi
The sky had become pitch black, with the dim street lamps and the odd car being the only source of light.238Please respect copyright.PENANAN2FpX2HTRD
238Please respect copyright.PENANAI84X7iMEO8
I remember hearing my name being called. Ah, crap.238Please respect copyright.PENANAIKbEK5cC7c
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.238Please respect copyright.PENANAFLXeVNs7OE
Much less someone I know.238Please respect copyright.PENANA9nX2aNf0As
238Please respect copyright.PENANAlWjisGV06j
"...Hey. Hey..."238Please respect copyright.PENANAvnhuap8s0R
"I'm going to call someone, okay?"
"Don't."238Please respect copyright.PENANAlNf9flTGKV
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.238Please respect copyright.PENANAmNWzg7T47Q
238Please respect copyright.PENANAwGax4k5Cry
"You...!" 238Please respect copyright.PENANAJjAdboXmNK
I remember cursing in my head.238Please respect copyright.PENANA5VnULRK9ic
Ah, fuck.238Please respect copyright.PENANAUPNAG2VYa5
Fuck.238Please respect copyright.PENANAa5l16jaHP6
It had to be you, didn't it.238Please respect copyright.PENANAL27Pb64TfE

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.238Please respect copyright.PENANA3iWkLQld8K
Teacher's pet.238Please respect copyright.PENANAgDePTg8WUg
The guy that effortlessly has people around him.238Please respect copyright.PENANAUu8ra9UVpD
The class president.
