I'm somehow alive.118Please respect copyright.PENANAGwgSQi90G3
It's strange... like I'm living in a dream.118Please respect copyright.PENANAU3vGG6fhG1
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.118Please respect copyright.PENANA2GT5bZpFor
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.118Please respect copyright.PENANAlfGdBLSnbn
Have you ever felt so tired that you could just face-plant and fall asleep on the concrete?118Please respect copyright.PENANAcFgtUGonfb
Well, it was that kind of day. 118Please respect copyright.PENANAqYsRWCwLlF
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.118Please respect copyright.PENANAe2y3JbVqt1

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?"118Please respect copyright.PENANATPU1jvwXsc
A voice that sounded vaguely familiar. I remember glancing at my right hand, groggy. Right, I was shopping.118Please respect copyright.PENANAmn1I6ElKf1
The sky had become pitch black, with the dim street lamps and the odd car being the only source of light.118Please respect copyright.PENANAVsZ81gM3o9
118Please respect copyright.PENANA99YVsBCjAA
I remember hearing my name being called. Ah, crap.118Please respect copyright.PENANAFtaSxLKZX4
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.118Please respect copyright.PENANA1iPK58mpY7
Much less someone I know.118Please respect copyright.PENANAdmxaGAsU65
118Please respect copyright.PENANAHlpGHnOeca
"...Hey. Hey..."118Please respect copyright.PENANAbmd2vXHY3A
"I'm going to call someone, okay?"
"Don't."118Please respect copyright.PENANAO2NDwctiM5
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.118Please respect copyright.PENANAeVXyObWjvi
118Please respect copyright.PENANA6MG8R7dq6j
"You...!" 118Please respect copyright.PENANA0tLcQ6oL3f
I remember cursing in my head.118Please respect copyright.PENANAptLsvWhXIc
Ah, fuck.118Please respect copyright.PENANAoAeL9RrASo
Fuck.118Please respect copyright.PENANAF95SCqmmnG
It had to be you, didn't it.118Please respect copyright.PENANAhpMTpIvwPL

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.118Please respect copyright.PENANAVLhhcMIf8Z
Teacher's pet.118Please respect copyright.PENANAyjRVOGvbZO
The guy that effortlessly has people around him.118Please respect copyright.PENANAlN9gpWuk6I
The class president.
