I'm somehow alive.314Please respect copyright.PENANA1ARbJOpKdU
It's strange... like I'm living in a dream.314Please respect copyright.PENANADCjLdQA5ec
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.314Please respect copyright.PENANAkg7l9RsKfV
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.314Please respect copyright.PENANAj6xJgrBuew
Have you ever felt so tired that you could just face-plant and fall asleep on the concrete?314Please respect copyright.PENANAbvPA8iR2PF
Well, it was that kind of day. 314Please respect copyright.PENANAhhkaWTHf2v
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.314Please respect copyright.PENANAOkIxoLCibb

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?"314Please respect copyright.PENANADhWK5NfAFM
A voice that sounded vaguely familiar. I remember glancing at my right hand, groggy. Right, I was shopping.314Please respect copyright.PENANAyxoFbbiFYD
The sky had become pitch black, with the dim street lamps and the odd car being the only source of light.314Please respect copyright.PENANAcMeAW49q7R
314Please respect copyright.PENANAUWgWJwJ8Vw
I remember hearing my name being called. Ah, crap.314Please respect copyright.PENANAidasTcgkk5
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.314Please respect copyright.PENANAhmZS9y4yS0
Much less someone I know.314Please respect copyright.PENANAtWewgxT1ik
314Please respect copyright.PENANAHZzrGFhK3E
"...Hey. Hey..."314Please respect copyright.PENANA3RXXWcxSBV
"I'm going to call someone, okay?"
"Don't."314Please respect copyright.PENANAGPSX2b5m1t
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.314Please respect copyright.PENANAk7qOR903Rg
314Please respect copyright.PENANALO6q3UJQsL
"You...!" 314Please respect copyright.PENANAuRuAn4ujGw
I remember cursing in my head.314Please respect copyright.PENANARKtgrYIkvR
Ah, fuck.314Please respect copyright.PENANAwRl5fnKteE
Fuck.314Please respect copyright.PENANAg6D6eGvQWF
It had to be you, didn't it.314Please respect copyright.PENANAl4WmkUDw1o

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.314Please respect copyright.PENANAwRLgT8ew9Y
Teacher's pet.314Please respect copyright.PENANATtF0GXaDbb
The guy that effortlessly has people around him.314Please respect copyright.PENANAW3pzKMyD3c
The class president.
