I'm somehow alive.308Please respect copyright.PENANA1dnP1Cteb9
It's strange... like I'm living in a dream.308Please respect copyright.PENANAMnGoihIv1E
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANAqUyUBQXpJV
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANAMfTXJqXgos
Have you ever felt so tired that you could just face-plant and fall asleep on the concrete?308Please respect copyright.PENANA4GeqwQRgCg
Well, it was that kind of day. 308Please respect copyright.PENANA6eo4oVO1nb
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANA9zd7SVyVI8

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?"308Please respect copyright.PENANAr6SBuID937
A voice that sounded vaguely familiar. I remember glancing at my right hand, groggy. Right, I was shopping.308Please respect copyright.PENANAHIktanXsHI
The sky had become pitch black, with the dim street lamps and the odd car being the only source of light.308Please respect copyright.PENANA6xe8ztd12w
308Please respect copyright.PENANAlFJ9HYL3pk
I remember hearing my name being called. Ah, crap.308Please respect copyright.PENANAqNvlIj9zUF
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANAa7Wc4ea9RG
Much less someone I know.308Please respect copyright.PENANAlbB4s25EBt
308Please respect copyright.PENANAvBSAAVDF9Z
"...Hey. Hey..."308Please respect copyright.PENANAUMG7dqwLLk
"I'm going to call someone, okay?"
"Don't."308Please respect copyright.PENANAs0HBdlVGPy
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.308Please respect copyright.PENANAAUVfUjJDnA
308Please respect copyright.PENANAO6YnbNYnZh
"You...!" 308Please respect copyright.PENANAzuK5ffGnRN
I remember cursing in my head.308Please respect copyright.PENANA1cTz57tTap
Ah, fuck.308Please respect copyright.PENANAX9g0I31oQv
Fuck.308Please respect copyright.PENANAYHbZHsESbh
It had to be you, didn't it.308Please respect copyright.PENANAzkrJwm5DVU

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.308Please respect copyright.PENANAA77zJ2kQG5
Teacher's pet.308Please respect copyright.PENANAHsjSTJR3yu
The guy that effortlessly has people around him.308Please respect copyright.PENANA3cmUQ61o4B
The class president.
