I'm somehow alive.436Please respect copyright.PENANAhubZ4HR4q6
It's strange... like I'm living in a dream.436Please respect copyright.PENANAE6nguUcsnC
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANACJYKtb0tmG
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6wApVo7Gg
Have you ever felt so tired that you could just face-plant and fall asleep on the concrete?436Please respect copyright.PENANAxXSZj0S8wY
Well, it was that kind of day. 436Please respect copyright.PENANAkoPGUaJjVY
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAxJrmT2A8Pc

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?"436Please respect copyright.PENANA6lNxdxABPC
A voice that sounded vaguely familiar. I remember glancing at my right hand, groggy. Right, I was shopping.436Please respect copyright.PENANAsiw5fCpN8h
The sky had become pitch black, with the dim street lamps and the odd car being the only source of light.436Please respect copyright.PENANA2RopPJPsdw
436Please respect copyright.PENANApnKyvz5o1N
I remember hearing my name being called. Ah, crap.436Please respect copyright.PENANAKxBz5c133O
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANA3rK28505ev
Much less someone I know.436Please respect copyright.PENANAWUh2b5jRaU
436Please respect copyright.PENANA8IszdiFXUH
"...Hey. Hey..."436Please respect copyright.PENANAC6P8uX7tM9
"I'm going to call someone, okay?"
"Don't."436Please respect copyright.PENANAwH1999WtPx
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANArS7NiBhhKD
436Please respect copyright.PENANAJWZt4rQ7Ur
"You...!" 436Please respect copyright.PENANAETTZZRzPJ0
I remember cursing in my head.436Please respect copyright.PENANAGI9b5wP4DK
Ah, fuck.436Please respect copyright.PENANAAD5pQSAYzI
Fuck.436Please respect copyright.PENANAWGf9GLyJ61
It had to be you, didn't it.436Please respect copyright.PENANAx9BJNTc8ze

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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAAatXj6fCMD
Teacher's pet.436Please respect copyright.PENANAgXAvUuPuau
The guy that effortlessly has people around him.436Please respect copyright.PENANAeR2TK47njW
The class president.
