A skitzed out man named Zacharia sits in a barely lit room separating screws, pennies, pebbles, you name it- he’s dividing it. Watching this man makes me realize he must have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I feel for him, I have OCD myself and it’s like living in your own personal hell. Not everyone has the same symptoms but they sure as hell have the same overbearing anxiety. It sucks trying to live like nothings wrong with while your insides are totally fuckin tortured.

OCD will consume you if you let it, it’ll have you acting out these ridiculas rituals like suddenly thinking you left your curling iron on. Now even though you know damn well you shut that thing off, your brain still forces you to you bug out go back and check…again! Is it a chemical imbalance? They say it is but I honestly hope that someone cures this awful mind disease. A pretty young woman moves in and Zacharia secretly spies on her while she goes out to hang up laundry or even when she is getting changed.

Zachariah slowly develops a fixation of her, it’s possible he might even love her. He is living in recluse so it’s not like he is ever going to act upon it. He can’t even cross the threshold of the door to get his mail or even the bags of food that is delivered for him. You have to keep how powerful the brain really is in mind. It can completely debilitate you and cripple you from every day activities. So one day the woman’s estranged boyfriend shows up to hurt her. Will Zacharia be able to leave that room to help? Or will his mental disorder keep in the house ignoring the situation with regret?
