I'm somehow alive.119Please respect copyright.PENANA5TOBvLE5je
It's strange... like I'm living in a dream.119Please respect copyright.PENANAFOf2cRPmik
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.119Please respect copyright.PENANA9NGcAvbpV4
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.119Please respect copyright.PENANAYtXy6w2IyU
Have you ever felt so tired that you could just face-plant and fall asleep on the concrete?119Please respect copyright.PENANAxIlk02lu47
Well, it was that kind of day. 119Please respect copyright.PENANA85TsoPv4g2
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.119Please respect copyright.PENANAh2B60kLmE6

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?"119Please respect copyright.PENANAlEBUOURtXr
A voice that sounded vaguely familiar. I remember glancing at my right hand, groggy. Right, I was shopping.119Please respect copyright.PENANAVrEj3x4oMi
The sky had become pitch black, with the dim street lamps and the odd car being the only source of light.119Please respect copyright.PENANA9c6Fsj83Bo
119Please respect copyright.PENANA311lKEHTsD
I remember hearing my name being called. Ah, crap.119Please respect copyright.PENANABksN9rKHEc
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.119Please respect copyright.PENANAwTmUGfmM2V
Much less someone I know.119Please respect copyright.PENANAbsnG1DNS2n
119Please respect copyright.PENANAfR9aa6nFIZ
"...Hey. Hey..."119Please respect copyright.PENANAb1cvhWe1OZ
"I'm going to call someone, okay?"
"Don't."119Please respect copyright.PENANAUhRLW9NJpb
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.119Please respect copyright.PENANASb6WKvPDLI
119Please respect copyright.PENANAG9WjHdDdKy
"You...!" 119Please respect copyright.PENANA9beBUlBPBr
I remember cursing in my head.119Please respect copyright.PENANAmhcNGKLJB7
Ah, fuck.119Please respect copyright.PENANAQ774xwjdHg
Fuck.119Please respect copyright.PENANAhBr4gvMurg
It had to be you, didn't it.119Please respect copyright.PENANAzWfy4YIvOK

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.119Please respect copyright.PENANAN1Z9hziVWh
Teacher's pet.119Please respect copyright.PENANAfAvuCb3PRB
The guy that effortlessly has people around him.119Please respect copyright.PENANAoubFOmRb1A
The class president.
