I'm somehow alive.403Please respect copyright.PENANAgSGY8iqymI
It's strange... like I'm living in a dream.403Please respect copyright.PENANAVFAyqYjVXq
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.403Please respect copyright.PENANA3fJdnsgG6h
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.403Please respect copyright.PENANAoFkSxkqnDd
Have you ever felt so tired that you could just face-plant and fall asleep on the concrete?403Please respect copyright.PENANAdnkqqYcg6d
Well, it was that kind of day. 403Please respect copyright.PENANAvwjl9qtsT8
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.403Please respect copyright.PENANAcsw0bFa7IW

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?"403Please respect copyright.PENANACt95att8CB
A voice that sounded vaguely familiar. I remember glancing at my right hand, groggy. Right, I was shopping.403Please respect copyright.PENANAJjHM7FmujG
The sky had become pitch black, with the dim street lamps and the odd car being the only source of light.403Please respect copyright.PENANAlYzf09Fexx
403Please respect copyright.PENANAGZ3YEnPD08
I remember hearing my name being called. Ah, crap.403Please respect copyright.PENANA2WS58sEYqE
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.403Please respect copyright.PENANAaxMZWptFL9
Much less someone I know.403Please respect copyright.PENANAltkSrc7V2d

"...Hey. Hey..."403Please respect copyright.PENANAvHagIKhbSJ
"I'm going to call someone, okay?"
"Don't."403Please respect copyright.PENANA6YK5xcRjSv
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.403Please respect copyright.PENANA1DG6SyFF4x
403Please respect copyright.PENANApoohyqajgY
"You...!" 403Please respect copyright.PENANAWUHKAwl01T
I remember cursing in my head.403Please respect copyright.PENANAZOmeCs8S8x
Ah, fuck.403Please respect copyright.PENANAvejFLJzSyq
Fuck.403Please respect copyright.PENANAGrHub1Rc16
It had to be you, didn't it.403Please respect copyright.PENANAxWmDHj2Bsz

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.403Please respect copyright.PENANAlw9aTXVmFj
Teacher's pet.403Please respect copyright.PENANAyPyhfxwKaq
The guy that effortlessly has people around him.403Please respect copyright.PENANAOY0ilq0R8X
The class president.
