I'm somehow alive.327Please respect copyright.PENANAgkYJcng5i9
It's strange... like I'm living in a dream.327Please respect copyright.PENANA9fJtZMAiNV
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.327Please respect copyright.PENANA4wHd2mjXGr
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.327Please respect copyright.PENANAXASUf5LpD9
Have you ever felt so tired that you could just face-plant and fall asleep on the concrete?327Please respect copyright.PENANAcPVnX6k9sP
Well, it was that kind of day. 327Please respect copyright.PENANAj9GVwQcVMU
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.327Please respect copyright.PENANAHEAJpCRrFB

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?"327Please respect copyright.PENANAGoGViEx21j
A voice that sounded vaguely familiar. I remember glancing at my right hand, groggy. Right, I was shopping.327Please respect copyright.PENANAkJiAxTUaEZ
The sky had become pitch black, with the dim street lamps and the odd car being the only source of light.327Please respect copyright.PENANAnRaAbvWyKV
327Please respect copyright.PENANAEFhMWIYNtp
I remember hearing my name being called. Ah, crap.327Please respect copyright.PENANAZkAtYyhIOB
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.327Please respect copyright.PENANAXz0fiCKEOF
Much less someone I know.327Please respect copyright.PENANAJl6eDEmJCr
327Please respect copyright.PENANAMcpdm4E1Iz
"...Hey. Hey..."327Please respect copyright.PENANAB8DmkcJyF1
"I'm going to call someone, okay?"
"Don't."327Please respect copyright.PENANAnZ9oR9Q4gx
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.327Please respect copyright.PENANAPdbPwEICDt
327Please respect copyright.PENANA4dZbbfIr3w
"You...!" 327Please respect copyright.PENANAApeYEniLwN
I remember cursing in my head.327Please respect copyright.PENANA68dofAwRHu
Ah, fuck.327Please respect copyright.PENANAcLERkEKrvP
Fuck.327Please respect copyright.PENANAo0ykw3s9z3
It had to be you, didn't it.327Please respect copyright.PENANAPmJT2G1idw

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.327Please respect copyright.PENANAywybq5NYaV
Teacher's pet.327Please respect copyright.PENANA9x0B8k7MLD
The guy that effortlessly has people around him.327Please respect copyright.PENANAtcsCaP8OBO
The class president.
