I'm somehow alive.330Please respect copyright.PENANAZj1g4EsSM1
It's strange... like I'm living in a dream.330Please respect copyright.PENANAtTiibVwmXM
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.330Please respect copyright.PENANAFxR7hB0dDH
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.330Please respect copyright.PENANAEHRq47l9O2
Have you ever felt so tired that you could just face-plant and fall asleep on the concrete?330Please respect copyright.PENANA8kPEdRsIl6
Well, it was that kind of day. 330Please respect copyright.PENANAeo7S0Cru4g
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.330Please respect copyright.PENANAttYOlzj2GA

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?"330Please respect copyright.PENANA5JvgtSkGXu
A voice that sounded vaguely familiar. I remember glancing at my right hand, groggy. Right, I was shopping.330Please respect copyright.PENANAgGpy9wcqn1
The sky had become pitch black, with the dim street lamps and the odd car being the only source of light.330Please respect copyright.PENANAsNPaeIsP9Z
330Please respect copyright.PENANAWGh1znGpmx
I remember hearing my name being called. Ah, crap.330Please respect copyright.PENANAYwaxOLPjbw
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.330Please respect copyright.PENANAljGv7zSw0T
Much less someone I know.330Please respect copyright.PENANApLyIBZwMLz
330Please respect copyright.PENANAfT3LOgXbf4
"...Hey. Hey..."330Please respect copyright.PENANAm0J5bfXMBD
"I'm going to call someone, okay?"
"Don't."330Please respect copyright.PENANAUQydbHPFt6
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.330Please respect copyright.PENANAs0Tc8WQjCt
330Please respect copyright.PENANAyOdlwolaHS
"You...!" 330Please respect copyright.PENANAIkVKWtwLwm
I remember cursing in my head.330Please respect copyright.PENANAaY8GYhcfAv
Ah, fuck.330Please respect copyright.PENANAMlc2WQjGzp
Fuck.330Please respect copyright.PENANACaS7RRcHbP
It had to be you, didn't it.330Please respect copyright.PENANA26VdRmtjhO

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.330Please respect copyright.PENANAct1mtLln4U
Teacher's pet.330Please respect copyright.PENANAOX3bts6a0N
The guy that effortlessly has people around him.330Please respect copyright.PENANAlrBmpg1xhn
The class president.
