I'm somehow alive.307Please respect copyright.PENANA6SSDjFdjKE
It's strange... like I'm living in a dream.307Please respect copyright.PENANAnUiGxN3pS3
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANA7icuamXXzm
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANANUo0LXz3x5
Have you ever felt so tired that you could just face-plant and fall asleep on the concrete?307Please respect copyright.PENANAqOBB0kZC4K
Well, it was that kind of day. 307Please respect copyright.PENANATkjvWFfmRS
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAVZaGk1tsUe

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?"307Please respect copyright.PENANAUkLrNcLAMR
A voice that sounded vaguely familiar. I remember glancing at my right hand, groggy. Right, I was shopping.307Please respect copyright.PENANAndWlX0OWtQ
The sky had become pitch black, with the dim street lamps and the odd car being the only source of light.307Please respect copyright.PENANAmQj4lBgsoc
307Please respect copyright.PENANAircaxCkuLF
I remember hearing my name being called. Ah, crap.307Please respect copyright.PENANAO5FigYhHZF
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAoKsHgCwmzz
Much less someone I know.307Please respect copyright.PENANA6z6sn7Wize

"...Hey. Hey..."307Please respect copyright.PENANAuUEZqjOyvg
"I'm going to call someone, okay?"
"Don't."307Please respect copyright.PENANAP0LXAOkxX1
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANA2kcqi18EkR
307Please respect copyright.PENANACaaKTOEEHm
"You...!" 307Please respect copyright.PENANAVnHdPOkKaS
I remember cursing in my head.307Please respect copyright.PENANA4PzFCVXIzW
Ah, fuck.307Please respect copyright.PENANAIgyrVmoR0Q
Fuck.307Please respect copyright.PENANAt2zRJIeHJg
It had to be you, didn't it.307Please respect copyright.PENANAkQhrfjyNqg

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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAluMxBgWkqJ
Teacher's pet.307Please respect copyright.PENANAUHtrPqONh3
The guy that effortlessly has people around him.307Please respect copyright.PENANAx6bfoz0U37
The class president.
