I'm somehow alive.309Please respect copyright.PENANANMb06ZYomq
It's strange... like I'm living in a dream.309Please respect copyright.PENANAtjM9kmDw37
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.309Please respect copyright.PENANANXb878zq2Z
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.309Please respect copyright.PENANAJeSHNaKMfJ
Have you ever felt so tired that you could just face-plant and fall asleep on the concrete?309Please respect copyright.PENANAwLN22lzxFz
Well, it was that kind of day. 309Please respect copyright.PENANAKRMSYB6gBR
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.309Please respect copyright.PENANAnE6CjquTyt

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?"309Please respect copyright.PENANAGjuD00R5el
A voice that sounded vaguely familiar. I remember glancing at my right hand, groggy. Right, I was shopping.309Please respect copyright.PENANAVlBxMlqmwX
The sky had become pitch black, with the dim street lamps and the odd car being the only source of light.309Please respect copyright.PENANAcXRyDK3oLd
309Please respect copyright.PENANAJ939YU05NT
I remember hearing my name being called. Ah, crap.309Please respect copyright.PENANAJjkTilHOXc
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.309Please respect copyright.PENANA7qy3UI0ZaD
Much less someone I know.309Please respect copyright.PENANAfiXhGWWlRO
309Please respect copyright.PENANAXBTlCJWu5h
"...Hey. Hey..."309Please respect copyright.PENANAYMt4QO656l
"I'm going to call someone, okay?"
"Don't."309Please respect copyright.PENANA6dzOqsbFf7
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.309Please respect copyright.PENANA1sNjK1CqMw
309Please respect copyright.PENANAMzlFjW4ack
"You...!" 309Please respect copyright.PENANARGv6RVez5u
I remember cursing in my head.309Please respect copyright.PENANAJNNxGgMCA6
Ah, fuck.309Please respect copyright.PENANAKLyB0NcrSh
Fuck.309Please respect copyright.PENANA8qmJ1rVWCI
It had to be you, didn't it.309Please respect copyright.PENANAZPGaZeNyir

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.309Please respect copyright.PENANAczKmorQVtc
Teacher's pet.309Please respect copyright.PENANAmwJsorp2Rt
The guy that effortlessly has people around him.309Please respect copyright.PENANAs2Fk6C0leF
The class president.
