Things are as they are, not as they should be!

Compulsion

Drabble

My eyes take in the decor of the room, as the lady of the house asks me to wait.

I notice something at the far end.

I avert my eyes.

It doesn’t matter.

Focus on the interview.

It does not matter at all.

deepbreathdeepbreathdeepbreath, I tell myself.

I twist my hands in my lap and glance away.

Do it, before she comes, a voice commands.

I restlessly look in that direction, once again.

I am torn between the two conflicting thoughts.

Aah! A satisfied sigh escapes me.

It does matter… The correct, perfect, alignment of things in a symmetrical pattern!

  1. Unlike Rachna, I could totally relate to it. At times I even arrange chillies according to their height and start using the shortest one first. Yeah, I’m kinda crazy when it comes to OCD! 😀

  2. Ah, well I hope the compulsion of looking at the perfectly aligned tomatoes puts her mind at ease and at focus! 🙂 Does the interviewer match her compulsivity? 😉 <3
