I'm somehow alive.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fbFwOVkx3
It's strange... like I'm living in a dream.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNdfn4ssJ9
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.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIWn7LvZzH
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.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhevwofJZdd
Have you ever felt so tired that you could just face-plant and fall asleep on the concrete?446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPTXUSunGz
Well, it was that kind of day. 446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEg5Bnjjwl
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.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09Wqcprhkr

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?"446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSmbQwZmBC
A voice that sounded vaguely familiar. I remember glancing at my right hand, groggy. Right, I was shopping.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvemxgY2Vx
The sky had become pitch black, with the dim street lamps and the odd car being the only source of light.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmmYLQznuY
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdB8EiLWLEr
I remember hearing my name being called. Ah, crap.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NU1HhUdsm
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.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDR2BKEKWOg
Much less someone I know.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJztgEwShR

"...Hey. Hey..."446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4SsEzfX76
"I'm going to call someone, okay?"
"Don't."446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRzKOB47Wy
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.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobZnGP4vZC
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfbYicg8Nt
"You...!" 446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplzcbdnNFp
I remember cursing in my head.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RfVhQBBCu
Ah, fuck.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsNiIhOthw
Fuck.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMeBk1TqBh
It had to be you, didn't it.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNujT0zKZZr

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.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6JTQuGveu
Teacher's pet.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AHcWy0ZHN
The guy that effortlessly has people around him.446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0i3RUTHiGC
The class president.
