I'm somehow alive.116Please respect copyright.PENANAVQr27NA0KZ
It's strange... like I'm living in a dream.116Please respect copyright.PENANAQjs2pltVuR
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.116Please respect copyright.PENANAzzeWiLDxT4
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.116Please respect copyright.PENANAmjLOMw9UPu
Have you ever felt so tired that you could just face-plant and fall asleep on the concrete?116Please respect copyright.PENANAtt6rnkEjGk
Well, it was that kind of day. 116Please respect copyright.PENANAEg2Ytc41Gs
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.116Please respect copyright.PENANAEFA62zgTnL

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?"116Please respect copyright.PENANAad3TU53my2
A voice that sounded vaguely familiar. I remember glancing at my right hand, groggy. Right, I was shopping.116Please respect copyright.PENANALD7b9Ye68H
The sky had become pitch black, with the dim street lamps and the odd car being the only source of light.116Please respect copyright.PENANATeAB9V9exu
116Please respect copyright.PENANAiCce8Gh9LS
I remember hearing my name being called. Ah, crap.116Please respect copyright.PENANAatMAU2stfn
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.116Please respect copyright.PENANAF0iUIdr2rV
Much less someone I know.116Please respect copyright.PENANAY9iWkoQbur
116Please respect copyright.PENANAP2PCMkSznZ
"...Hey. Hey..."116Please respect copyright.PENANAqvDUwBh3Hf
"I'm going to call someone, okay?"
"Don't."116Please respect copyright.PENANAL9aUQPOQa2
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.116Please respect copyright.PENANAwst3PhIO4m
116Please respect copyright.PENANAQWkeO16sfb
"You...!" 116Please respect copyright.PENANA2mwBZoIKgG
I remember cursing in my head.116Please respect copyright.PENANAYKU0dk9l21
Ah, fuck.116Please respect copyright.PENANAb4sMn76vIa
Fuck.116Please respect copyright.PENANAVe2aGZS0Wt
It had to be you, didn't it.116Please respect copyright.PENANAAROpfe1246

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.116Please respect copyright.PENANA5nAiAQZv3A
Teacher's pet.116Please respect copyright.PENANAA3YEeqq36a
The guy that effortlessly has people around him.116Please respect copyright.PENANAHx4Y3awDwE
The class president.
