Is that you?
Hmm, is it my little pepper plant? No.
Maybe the big plant on the floor? Now I don't smell it at all. Just a passing odour? (Looks around, then sits back in desk chair.)
Hey, it's back. Is it the chair? No. Oh god, is it me? (Smells shirt. Surreptitiously smells armpits.) No. Huh.
Wait it's gone again. Nevermind. (Rolls chair back up toward desk again.)
Oh god, there it is again. Weird. Hm. What else could it be? (Checks shirt again, just in case.)
Tea? No.
Water? No.
Travel coffee mug? Holy Jesus son of God, there it is. Oh man. Wow. (Opens lid of mug to find what amounted to brown fetid custard.) Wow, I had no idea tea with milk left to sit for a few days would do THAT.
(Unfortunately, once the smell was in my nose, I smelled it everywhere, and I mean EVERYWHERE, for the rest of the day. I'll never get that smell out of my head.)
