I'm somehow alive.312Please respect copyright.PENANAjSAObwLAbq
It's strange... like I'm living in a dream.312Please respect copyright.PENANAbwPEh28uZp
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.312Please respect copyright.PENANAypm6IlP0Dp
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.312Please respect copyright.PENANASrDvfVLych
Have you ever felt so tired that you could just face-plant and fall asleep on the concrete?312Please respect copyright.PENANA3Rs6wxXFdO
Well, it was that kind of day. 312Please respect copyright.PENANA2jmycttuPK
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.312Please respect copyright.PENANAF1F02PkEXz

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?"312Please respect copyright.PENANAB6rEe8zwza
A voice that sounded vaguely familiar. I remember glancing at my right hand, groggy. Right, I was shopping.312Please respect copyright.PENANAxd583aPzYE
The sky had become pitch black, with the dim street lamps and the odd car being the only source of light.312Please respect copyright.PENANAXC0kIFcEc6
312Please respect copyright.PENANADWFKpGOx2v
I remember hearing my name being called. Ah, crap.312Please respect copyright.PENANAexGS8oFtxn
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.312Please respect copyright.PENANAUgIlJqpdQS
Much less someone I know.312Please respect copyright.PENANAJR2EfGAnyt
312Please respect copyright.PENANAjXFUPAozNs
"...Hey. Hey..."312Please respect copyright.PENANA1DazRykC47
"I'm going to call someone, okay?"
"Don't."312Please respect copyright.PENANAsvZB7a90M9
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.312Please respect copyright.PENANAdV6JvGQf03
312Please respect copyright.PENANAEabH8z8x4E
"You...!" 312Please respect copyright.PENANAY0RYRtpuA0
I remember cursing in my head.312Please respect copyright.PENANAun19i76daL
Ah, fuck.312Please respect copyright.PENANAPoGRABTonC
Fuck.312Please respect copyright.PENANAE6CmgyhftF
It had to be you, didn't it.312Please respect copyright.PENANAaSYYadL9dJ

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.312Please respect copyright.PENANA8eGCTFqWQj
Teacher's pet.312Please respect copyright.PENANADnvZKztvCV
The guy that effortlessly has people around him.312Please respect copyright.PENANAA0d8A6DEvp
The class president.
