I'm not sure how I got here, but I'm guessing it's a combination of poor life choices and a general disregard for the well-being of others. My name is Jack, and I've been stealing oxygen from my neighbors for months now. It's a weird habit, I know, but it's become a necessity for me.
I've started to notice the impact it's having on my relationships, too. My neighbors are suspicious of me, and for good reason. They're starting to notice that their oxygen levels are always low, and they're getting angry.
I've tried to make excuses, to justify my behavior. I've told myself that I'm just trying to survive, that I need the oxygen to live. But deep down, I know that's not true. I'm not stealing oxygen to survive – I'm stealing it because I can.
So, I'm making a change. I'm going to start attending Oxygen Anonymous meetings, and I'm going to try to kick the habit. It's going to be hard, but I'm ready to try.
I've been trying to quit, I really have. But it's hard. The oxygen is like a drug, and I'm addicted. I've tried to find alternative sources, but they're expensive and hard to come by.
It's a weird kind of thrill, I guess. A rush of power and control. But it's not worth it. I know that.
But as time went on, I realized that I wasn't just stealing oxygen – I was stealing a lifeline. My neighbors were using it to breathe, to live. And I was taking it away from them.
It started innocently enough. I was feeling a bit short of breath one day, and I noticed that my neighbor's oxygen tank was always full. I mean, always full. I began to wonder if they really needed it, or if they were just hoarding it like a prepper stockpiling canned goods.
