I'm somehow alive.383Please respect copyright.PENANAdST8bGFW4g
It's strange... like I'm living in a dream.383Please respect copyright.PENANAq6jQLyaPth
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.383Please respect copyright.PENANAwS3qqKQo9Z
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.383Please respect copyright.PENANAnZY7jxF8a8
Have you ever felt so tired that you could just face-plant and fall asleep on the concrete?383Please respect copyright.PENANA0B4g55EZN8
Well, it was that kind of day. 383Please respect copyright.PENANAKlQdRRZNCM
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.383Please respect copyright.PENANAWSgSBRlPgB

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?"383Please respect copyright.PENANAFHcdoNTqwI
A voice that sounded vaguely familiar. I remember glancing at my right hand, groggy. Right, I was shopping.383Please respect copyright.PENANAyMElc62tTN
The sky had become pitch black, with the dim street lamps and the odd car being the only source of light.383Please respect copyright.PENANAzQ9Afpo0zD
383Please respect copyright.PENANAdny1q523zv
I remember hearing my name being called. Ah, crap.383Please respect copyright.PENANAttaFopx0eG
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.383Please respect copyright.PENANAm8zNHi2LCU
Much less someone I know.383Please respect copyright.PENANAAWbt6Eh4Gh
383Please respect copyright.PENANA0EUTbNwJag
"...Hey. Hey..."383Please respect copyright.PENANAKS2PV9w6MM
"I'm going to call someone, okay?"
"Don't."383Please respect copyright.PENANAIj3h1cioOc
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.383Please respect copyright.PENANAzABkLIqsM5
383Please respect copyright.PENANA5XSsK4EqPc
"You...!" 383Please respect copyright.PENANARrA4Ag961A
I remember cursing in my head.383Please respect copyright.PENANAiPD7YX0qzE
Ah, fuck.383Please respect copyright.PENANASXnmgNiYA2
Fuck.383Please respect copyright.PENANAwSL3rzkcbN
It had to be you, didn't it.383Please respect copyright.PENANA4BKXZzZix8

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.383Please respect copyright.PENANA2pFn8jFfZs
Teacher's pet.383Please respect copyright.PENANATiWA7OFLJF
The guy that effortlessly has people around him.383Please respect copyright.PENANAGXJdqqmcgf
The class president.
