On Obsessive Behaviour

'Why do you keep that bottle of rubbing alcohol beside your keyboard?'
'I use it to clean off the detritus from the last guy to use it. I can't bring myself to use something anyone else has touched.'
'You mean like the phone?'
'I sanitize that, too.'
'Hand shakes?'
'Compulsive washing before and after.'
'A borrowed pen?'
'Tossed.'
'Old papers?'
'Burnt.'
'The toilet stall door?

'You're holding it right now, aren't you?'
'Only three more hours and a 50 minute bus ride until I can uncross my legs.'
