I'm somehow alive.349Please respect copyright.PENANAgzbxB2j91Z
It's strange... like I'm living in a dream.349Please respect copyright.PENANAZLMvxfVkkr
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.349Please respect copyright.PENANA4mDTPaZu9u
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.349Please respect copyright.PENANARjjiwPqsXe
Have you ever felt so tired that you could just face-plant and fall asleep on the concrete?349Please respect copyright.PENANA4IeQaUe3zT
Well, it was that kind of day. 349Please respect copyright.PENANAHrnQjIDk8I
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.349Please respect copyright.PENANAph2V5Kdne5

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?"349Please respect copyright.PENANAFhZVumjaq6
A voice that sounded vaguely familiar. I remember glancing at my right hand, groggy. Right, I was shopping.349Please respect copyright.PENANAkfs8s25PJA
The sky had become pitch black, with the dim street lamps and the odd car being the only source of light.349Please respect copyright.PENANAf9X805Foim
349Please respect copyright.PENANAdP807tQ7zD
I remember hearing my name being called. Ah, crap.349Please respect copyright.PENANAbOnARUO1GU
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.349Please respect copyright.PENANAkkc5yMTr2M
Much less someone I know.349Please respect copyright.PENANArqVPQe941p
349Please respect copyright.PENANAiBDfJg2GZ2
"...Hey. Hey..."349Please respect copyright.PENANAsiRBSL09ef
"I'm going to call someone, okay?"
"Don't."349Please respect copyright.PENANACnHiTUIdsa
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.349Please respect copyright.PENANAnRihyr3bkV
349Please respect copyright.PENANAPduRC8coZB
"You...!" 349Please respect copyright.PENANArtJgeMkBr2
I remember cursing in my head.349Please respect copyright.PENANAtbPpmbwRj0
Ah, fuck.349Please respect copyright.PENANA1GYzUMEQEU
Fuck.349Please respect copyright.PENANAj5ZhOryrGy
It had to be you, didn't it.349Please respect copyright.PENANADGtv9l8OT7

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.349Please respect copyright.PENANAPtP2Fcc8Ri
Teacher's pet.349Please respect copyright.PENANAB3QpUMg8nf
The guy that effortlessly has people around him.349Please respect copyright.PENANAaJ1z1ryUeE
