“What?” said the other man.
“I don’t have enough compulsions. I need to eat and drink and breathe and after I eat and drink I need to go to the toilet, and all of these things need to be done regularly otherwise I’ll die or explode, depending on which of the things I decide not...

I can’t really read the handwriting very well but they’re things like “Rahien,” and “Samih” and it involves a...
