I'm somehow alive.346Please respect copyright.PENANAYOKtIhfulc
It's strange... like I'm living in a dream.346Please respect copyright.PENANAYSMC6NSLBW
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.346Please respect copyright.PENANAM74EOfIXZY
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.346Please respect copyright.PENANApV1UqozUY5
Have you ever felt so tired that you could just face-plant and fall asleep on the concrete?346Please respect copyright.PENANAdVLArOKIE6
Well, it was that kind of day. 346Please respect copyright.PENANAJqXo8RfjWb
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.346Please respect copyright.PENANAZxasyUK7qc

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?"346Please respect copyright.PENANAwRoe1aOrqT
A voice that sounded vaguely familiar. I remember glancing at my right hand, groggy. Right, I was shopping.346Please respect copyright.PENANAr6udmjEa3D
The sky had become pitch black, with the dim street lamps and the odd car being the only source of light.346Please respect copyright.PENANAfxljsHMnUz
346Please respect copyright.PENANAkAZLLmFfu6
I remember hearing my name being called. Ah, crap.346Please respect copyright.PENANAdLrmHiiZ83
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.346Please respect copyright.PENANA9m1JwMuvqQ
Much less someone I know.346Please respect copyright.PENANAdSuI3U96yd
346Please respect copyright.PENANAnmbLtyNkXh
"...Hey. Hey..."346Please respect copyright.PENANA8iclNEqD5r
"I'm going to call someone, okay?"
"Don't."346Please respect copyright.PENANA5kUNatyimR
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.346Please respect copyright.PENANAzxzIDaYJMR
346Please respect copyright.PENANAN48XM9LpVP
"You...!" 346Please respect copyright.PENANAW8QRgFmwpt
I remember cursing in my head.346Please respect copyright.PENANAdVUbdpo0UI
Ah, fuck.346Please respect copyright.PENANACufaX5M5SC
Fuck.346Please respect copyright.PENANAbzkbjOjvaK
It had to be you, didn't it.346Please respect copyright.PENANAiKKkoIYJja

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.346Please respect copyright.PENANA35eZP5W989
Teacher's pet.346Please respect copyright.PENANAtDHQfzy2VX
The guy that effortlessly has people around him.346Please respect copyright.PENANAiL0HI1HF6k
