I'm somehow alive.311Please respect copyright.PENANA3GVD3iRGuO
It's strange... like I'm living in a dream.311Please respect copyright.PENANA1NQBo6pGSD
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.311Please respect copyright.PENANAT0qtMntGK2
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.311Please respect copyright.PENANAnoWqaZydUk
Have you ever felt so tired that you could just face-plant and fall asleep on the concrete?311Please respect copyright.PENANAHJPrpqy6N5
Well, it was that kind of day. 311Please respect copyright.PENANAnG53mHTKll
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.311Please respect copyright.PENANAcPlVRRLvhh

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?"311Please respect copyright.PENANAEFqAUJUSrI
A voice that sounded vaguely familiar. I remember glancing at my right hand, groggy. Right, I was shopping.311Please respect copyright.PENANAmeoYa8rZlI
The sky had become pitch black, with the dim street lamps and the odd car being the only source of light.311Please respect copyright.PENANA76TvHHh6X5
311Please respect copyright.PENANAuy3HDKE5gq
I remember hearing my name being called. Ah, crap.311Please respect copyright.PENANAhDrd0piMs9
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.311Please respect copyright.PENANAnRp1mcdfYQ
Much less someone I know.311Please respect copyright.PENANAKycivXRoNb
311Please respect copyright.PENANAwvdsZc7AK8
"...Hey. Hey..."311Please respect copyright.PENANAVmds73kZdu
"I'm going to call someone, okay?"
"Don't."311Please respect copyright.PENANAXSf1faGrZk
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.311Please respect copyright.PENANAt5usIVQrVD
311Please respect copyright.PENANAzljYBdyhc9
"You...!" 311Please respect copyright.PENANABDDkjbZ4zq
I remember cursing in my head.311Please respect copyright.PENANAFHRa24wOl9
Ah, fuck.311Please respect copyright.PENANA4dYgk2XviW
Fuck.311Please respect copyright.PENANAxkg7FhVdkw
It had to be you, didn't it.311Please respect copyright.PENANA8KjhTcjWcC

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.311Please respect copyright.PENANAPgXjVcOVC7
Teacher's pet.311Please respect copyright.PENANANAbM2B0x7z
The guy that effortlessly has people around him.311Please respect copyright.PENANAw69MemhKVd
The class president.
