I'm somehow alive.302Please respect copyright.PENANAKVkUWGvFoW
It's strange... like I'm living in a dream.302Please respect copyright.PENANAvE7yhCB8II
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.302Please respect copyright.PENANAHyOb2foLQV
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.302Please respect copyright.PENANAxsJCDaGetN
Have you ever felt so tired that you could just face-plant and fall asleep on the concrete?302Please respect copyright.PENANAaHklV5D8uN
Well, it was that kind of day. 302Please respect copyright.PENANAFAnhFpXPAu
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.302Please respect copyright.PENANAqgTuy2d46E

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?"302Please respect copyright.PENANALaQVTbIPEX
A voice that sounded vaguely familiar. I remember glancing at my right hand, groggy. Right, I was shopping.302Please respect copyright.PENANA3CcaWZLMVk
The sky had become pitch black, with the dim street lamps and the odd car being the only source of light.302Please respect copyright.PENANAs21eiibRWh
302Please respect copyright.PENANAS0Ru0X4Y77
I remember hearing my name being called. Ah, crap.302Please respect copyright.PENANAZvwYHKj6e1
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.302Please respect copyright.PENANAB7CNW3RsFU
Much less someone I know.302Please respect copyright.PENANAm0RIg11bu3
302Please respect copyright.PENANATiilyzCeTD
"...Hey. Hey..."302Please respect copyright.PENANAsiOv2E7vUb
"I'm going to call someone, okay?"
"Don't."302Please respect copyright.PENANAwPPbRP27gw
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.302Please respect copyright.PENANA9lwyvC4J1g
302Please respect copyright.PENANAjbIhk7vPGu
"You...!" 302Please respect copyright.PENANAWZm4HefTZy
I remember cursing in my head.302Please respect copyright.PENANA65IrC18c5x
Ah, fuck.302Please respect copyright.PENANATdW4Wy9RJe
Fuck.302Please respect copyright.PENANAOP27TjFE70
It had to be you, didn't it.302Please respect copyright.PENANATVSaP9MCJk

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.302Please respect copyright.PENANAAfwDJ34GtY
Teacher's pet.302Please respect copyright.PENANAowyfqIG5ew
The guy that effortlessly has people around him.302Please respect copyright.PENANAjetSeByl88
The class president.
