So, my only hopes are a big territory on the left side (kind of hard, but worth a shot) or white taking gote to reinforce the right side. The odds of me winning are definitely against me, but I don't want to resign until I have nothing left to try.

I think Dusk Eagle will build up the left if I secure the corner. I think I can play like this because I am ahead in points, but I have a feeling it is too passive. One pro is it should give me sente to start collecting large yose moves.
My initial idea was to play at (a).

I thought he would play as above to avoid seki, but he then loses some endgame against me so I'm not sure what was better.
Now, I can make a gote seki starting at R13 if I choose, but it might be worth more to play T12? I'll have to consider that later.
Anyway, I need to aggressively hog territory and/or create complications on the left if I'm to win this game. Those are the goals of my move right now.

: The shape is bad, but extending or one-space jumping lets him play below, which starts what I judge to be an unfavorable fight for me. My actual move is harder to exploit in my opinion.

Awful shape, but I can isolate his stones and I'm at least picking a fight. at 'a' might be a better option; I'll have to decide if he plays this way.

I know I am weak at situations like this. I may lose the game here. Hopefully, the eye-witnesses of this potential disaster can give me some advice for next time.

Good move by him. I can't find a way to continue in that corner. I think my move would be more realistic if I had a one-space jump from my stone, but I felt that if I did that he would just defend and I would lose all opportunity to do so. Plus, I forgot about this move when reading it out last time . That means I have only one thing left to try. I'll admit right now it seems like a long shot, but I refuse to go down without making him prove it.

I've read further than this, but it starts to branch into more variations than I have the time to post. Like I said, I don't really think it works, but I'm desperate now.
and let me try this?

below he'd have earned one extra point:
: The shape is bad, but extending or one-space jumping lets him play 
below, which starts what I judge to be an unfavorable fight for me. My actual move is harder to exploit in my opinion.

at 'a' might be a better option; I'll have to decide if he plays this way.
Hopefully, the eye-witnesses of this potential disaster can give me some advice for next time.
