I'm somehow alive.348Please respect copyright.PENANAYcdpDGuFiK
It's strange... like I'm living in a dream.348Please respect copyright.PENANAGvOBm4HQu7
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.348Please respect copyright.PENANAoUuAs7ZCEN
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.348Please respect copyright.PENANAEm7cTDTsmO
Have you ever felt so tired that you could just face-plant and fall asleep on the concrete?348Please respect copyright.PENANATFn2XcaxUQ
Well, it was that kind of day. 348Please respect copyright.PENANAHDfn2s3YG8
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.348Please respect copyright.PENANAapmuNkjqGJ

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?"348Please respect copyright.PENANAy2F5DOIZzo
A voice that sounded vaguely familiar. I remember glancing at my right hand, groggy. Right, I was shopping.348Please respect copyright.PENANAZYx00XO4uf
The sky had become pitch black, with the dim street lamps and the odd car being the only source of light.348Please respect copyright.PENANAy5pRckPMET
348Please respect copyright.PENANAodIOKzy6WP
I remember hearing my name being called. Ah, crap.348Please respect copyright.PENANAjEEuxt8cYC
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.348Please respect copyright.PENANA0gGqpOmCPl
Much less someone I know.348Please respect copyright.PENANAz5HIiSkvtb
348Please respect copyright.PENANA6lQzWyolrS
"...Hey. Hey..."348Please respect copyright.PENANAfj7yun3ynP
"I'm going to call someone, okay?"
"Don't."348Please respect copyright.PENANAoNUNXSZfU9
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.348Please respect copyright.PENANAbRVEV9t28w
348Please respect copyright.PENANAsLXsgdTH9T
"You...!" 348Please respect copyright.PENANAezSybRgokW
I remember cursing in my head.348Please respect copyright.PENANAj1npdAPd2J
Ah, fuck.348Please respect copyright.PENANAlEl04hidZO
Fuck.348Please respect copyright.PENANAfefAHiELsQ
It had to be you, didn't it.348Please respect copyright.PENANANB8R6ihd1H

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.348Please respect copyright.PENANAiNprkeHoaI
Teacher's pet.348Please respect copyright.PENANAhWVLkjIoAL
The guy that effortlessly has people around him.348Please respect copyright.PENANA73Vk9XfTqu
