I'm somehow alive.133Please respect copyright.PENANAQIspmMDblE
It's strange... like I'm living in a dream.133Please respect copyright.PENANAVvDoN1wKoS
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.133Please respect copyright.PENANA6Zx3pdc6ah
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.133Please respect copyright.PENANAWDVratFdke
Have you ever felt so tired that you could just face-plant and fall asleep on the concrete?133Please respect copyright.PENANAbNv7BnempX
Well, it was that kind of day. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAvhsAYygBFJ
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.133Please respect copyright.PENANA3LCv17Fzqn

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?"133Please respect copyright.PENANAmQlYdoA6vC
A voice that sounded vaguely familiar. I remember glancing at my right hand, groggy. Right, I was shopping.133Please respect copyright.PENANAR3OKWeDvdP
The sky had become pitch black, with the dim street lamps and the odd car being the only source of light.133Please respect copyright.PENANAWoSJwqnqsi
133Please respect copyright.PENANAyt3o5I3JES
I remember hearing my name being called. Ah, crap.133Please respect copyright.PENANAjyVtKmfzHl
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.133Please respect copyright.PENANAhCM8Uo77fM
Much less someone I know.133Please respect copyright.PENANANiVj5Dh7Qy
133Please respect copyright.PENANA1lzMEMfG7J
"...Hey. Hey..."133Please respect copyright.PENANAyK2tPKB98D
"I'm going to call someone, okay?"
"Don't."133Please respect copyright.PENANA48C4p0jUJC
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.133Please respect copyright.PENANACUczkcH3Yy
133Please respect copyright.PENANAM0yxUvLITj
"You...!" 133Please respect copyright.PENANAe5YXNBCfTD
I remember cursing in my head.133Please respect copyright.PENANAZBZbkkaH3R
Ah, fuck.133Please respect copyright.PENANAEoRcOCN9SP
Fuck.133Please respect copyright.PENANAUdCOYa941U
It had to be you, didn't it.133Please respect copyright.PENANANrxCptXnIl

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.133Please respect copyright.PENANA8nkjWWFsuy
Teacher's pet.133Please respect copyright.PENANAwaxkKbsLdR
The guy that effortlessly has people around him.133Please respect copyright.PENANAPF40cqTV3A
The class president.
