I'm somehow alive.404Please respect copyright.PENANAhM7oJHvavU
It's strange... like I'm living in a dream.404Please respect copyright.PENANAGR2H279HdV
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.404Please respect copyright.PENANA8MY3kMDCLD
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.404Please respect copyright.PENANAwI7rctUEMG
Have you ever felt so tired that you could just face-plant and fall asleep on the concrete?404Please respect copyright.PENANAxNs7tk6cTZ
Well, it was that kind of day. 404Please respect copyright.PENANA8ahIQyBeMb
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.404Please respect copyright.PENANAdtkaZ0CtQx

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?"404Please respect copyright.PENANA8rwmVlJkKw
A voice that sounded vaguely familiar. I remember glancing at my right hand, groggy. Right, I was shopping.404Please respect copyright.PENANABR4El29O8R
The sky had become pitch black, with the dim street lamps and the odd car being the only source of light.404Please respect copyright.PENANAhz8FmjnXyn
404Please respect copyright.PENANA5s1Z8jO7z6
I remember hearing my name being called. Ah, crap.404Please respect copyright.PENANA3zXdxbjuH7
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.404Please respect copyright.PENANArY0FeQKzVa
Much less someone I know.404Please respect copyright.PENANAeYKl2FHqKI

"...Hey. Hey..."404Please respect copyright.PENANApDRL9NFNfF
"I'm going to call someone, okay?"
"Don't."404Please respect copyright.PENANAIRNgAVLMLt
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.404Please respect copyright.PENANASJ0Op5uT4a
404Please respect copyright.PENANAvlgi71iTDg
"You...!" 404Please respect copyright.PENANA9acAXpC9J9
I remember cursing in my head.404Please respect copyright.PENANAvTgSO3pBxE
Ah, fuck.404Please respect copyright.PENANA2ceV6L0w5p
Fuck.404Please respect copyright.PENANAMSE4T8A464
It had to be you, didn't it.404Please respect copyright.PENANA6lAEU8vPTm

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.404Please respect copyright.PENANAglXy8eMeLq
Teacher's pet.404Please respect copyright.PENANAiU3BZu9fnu
The guy that effortlessly has people around him.404Please respect copyright.PENANAlEfyBwMfyZ
