Simon had struggled with tmau for a long time now. It had caused years of bullying and a life of loneliness. It was genetic condition that caused him to smell … well unpleasant. He ate a strict diet to reduce it now but no cure truly existed.

He decided to work at the local butchers where nobody would notice him so much. Plus it smelt like blood there constantly already! But recently he had felt … lonely.

After all he was 19 and had never had any friends or a girlfriend. Most boys his age had lost their virginity and were young to parties. But recently he had his eyes on you, you worked at the cafe next door. Every morning and night he seen you, but he knew he would never be good enough for you. Not with the way he smelt.
