I'm somehow alive.395Please respect copyright.PENANAAn9yekUZNF
It's strange... like I'm living in a dream.395Please respect copyright.PENANAcorC9tsSjK
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.395Please respect copyright.PENANAQCcj3Gmwi4
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.395Please respect copyright.PENANAUEBoNTFyn2
Have you ever felt so tired that you could just face-plant and fall asleep on the concrete?395Please respect copyright.PENANAxC1c025Bfl
Well, it was that kind of day. 395Please respect copyright.PENANA24dBoXdHuV
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.395Please respect copyright.PENANATX8MYSUNTX

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?"395Please respect copyright.PENANAFzTAJSZM6h
A voice that sounded vaguely familiar. I remember glancing at my right hand, groggy. Right, I was shopping.395Please respect copyright.PENANAZF7RfXoRiT
The sky had become pitch black, with the dim street lamps and the odd car being the only source of light.395Please respect copyright.PENANA5mbrMXbVYj
395Please respect copyright.PENANAkDSrffmkkv
I remember hearing my name being called. Ah, crap.395Please respect copyright.PENANAWG3OQFSidp
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.395Please respect copyright.PENANAK5FL5IItIs
Much less someone I know.395Please respect copyright.PENANAAaKWsEkrQM

"...Hey. Hey..."395Please respect copyright.PENANAMGYZ9e5WFT
"I'm going to call someone, okay?"
"Don't."395Please respect copyright.PENANAB0IGyye6wR
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.395Please respect copyright.PENANAOLEXfxBcnL
395Please respect copyright.PENANAzGZiWb5rIP
"You...!" 395Please respect copyright.PENANASHZz05qqJ8
I remember cursing in my head.395Please respect copyright.PENANAv3XReN1nSp
Ah, fuck.395Please respect copyright.PENANA5BU3avW4qr
Fuck.395Please respect copyright.PENANAq9A7qX5X6K
It had to be you, didn't it.395Please respect copyright.PENANAfDhzXEOggl

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.395Please respect copyright.PENANAAyU1LQQxyf
Teacher's pet.395Please respect copyright.PENANANoFVRIX09p
The guy that effortlessly has people around him.395Please respect copyright.PENANA4BDRfN5WVw
The class president.
