I'm somehow alive.326Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7lWodRFsW
It's strange... like I'm living in a dream.326Please respect copyright.PENANA85642aCjom
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.326Please respect copyright.PENANAOjwZb52P9Q
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.326Please respect copyright.PENANAs3F0znJfbn
Have you ever felt so tired that you could just face-plant and fall asleep on the concrete?326Please respect copyright.PENANAnBHy9BPpj9
Well, it was that kind of day. 326Please respect copyright.PENANAY7032IvRRw
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.326Please respect copyright.PENANAedTTZpE2bL

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?"326Please respect copyright.PENANADvRG4PyqJy
A voice that sounded vaguely familiar. I remember glancing at my right hand, groggy. Right, I was shopping.326Please respect copyright.PENANAHtO6ZqLm77
The sky had become pitch black, with the dim street lamps and the odd car being the only source of light.326Please respect copyright.PENANAcSgQfi6vvk
326Please respect copyright.PENANAfj6uNd1Zso
I remember hearing my name being called. Ah, crap.326Please respect copyright.PENANA4Z54t8noRa
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.326Please respect copyright.PENANALLX1jzN5Z1
Much less someone I know.326Please respect copyright.PENANAxXpLsRznLc
326Please respect copyright.PENANABvGqyolVbn
"...Hey. Hey..."326Please respect copyright.PENANApfIFFHdoR7
"I'm going to call someone, okay?"
"Don't."326Please respect copyright.PENANA7SphpjAhCt
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.326Please respect copyright.PENANAKHk3zIY2lI
326Please respect copyright.PENANAzBIm3SmCg0
"You...!" 326Please respect copyright.PENANAYHgsh4NJyL
I remember cursing in my head.326Please respect copyright.PENANAF0giuTyABQ
Ah, fuck.326Please respect copyright.PENANAqg74daBOui
Fuck.326Please respect copyright.PENANARBH1R3RPPm
It had to be you, didn't it.326Please respect copyright.PENANA44yp2vp0tP

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.326Please respect copyright.PENANAe0RIz8rMlj
Teacher's pet.326Please respect copyright.PENANAfd7e2T87Z2
The guy that effortlessly has people around him.326Please respect copyright.PENANAWxG8vmAiGP
The class president.
