I'm somehow alive.306Please respect copyright.PENANANW9EZhE0co
It's strange... like I'm living in a dream.306Please respect copyright.PENANAfIdStPlE03
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.306Please respect copyright.PENANAsCnUdxmpEt
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.306Please respect copyright.PENANArF9SOxzm9R
Have you ever felt so tired that you could just face-plant and fall asleep on the concrete?306Please respect copyright.PENANAyI1T8DHmcl
Well, it was that kind of day. 306Please respect copyright.PENANAQi09p9DzW4
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.306Please respect copyright.PENANAAcKqo73ysK

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?"306Please respect copyright.PENANAw43pZNcu0v
A voice that sounded vaguely familiar. I remember glancing at my right hand, groggy. Right, I was shopping.306Please respect copyright.PENANAULelvqkQjW
The sky had become pitch black, with the dim street lamps and the odd car being the only source of light.306Please respect copyright.PENANAL7PgS1n5Kd
306Please respect copyright.PENANAfVokXlV91b
I remember hearing my name being called. Ah, crap.306Please respect copyright.PENANAVBYJXXfJbj
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.306Please respect copyright.PENANABlPWkB8Yve
Much less someone I know.306Please respect copyright.PENANAcZdjS29JaO
306Please respect copyright.PENANAoaDnOHWNAH
"...Hey. Hey..."306Please respect copyright.PENANAccL5AErW2l
"I'm going to call someone, okay?"
"Don't."306Please respect copyright.PENANAIGfDJ2ZyoL
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.306Please respect copyright.PENANAXQprvTMiQ7
306Please respect copyright.PENANA181ZPCthPW
"You...!" 306Please respect copyright.PENANAcih6wrJUPw
I remember cursing in my head.306Please respect copyright.PENANAvpCi8iSTqS
Ah, fuck.306Please respect copyright.PENANA0rXb9JdJkL
Fuck.306Please respect copyright.PENANAsQAguygria
It had to be you, didn't it.306Please respect copyright.PENANAOC5FooBK68

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.306Please respect copyright.PENANAxwKv7pvPCi
Teacher's pet.306Please respect copyright.PENANAvLQD0eDazQ
The guy that effortlessly has people around him.306Please respect copyright.PENANAmEmX1zd98P
The class president.
