The Man Who Pushes in the Chairs

He looks normal when he's working on his crossword puzzle (his head bent down over the paper, his pencil poised to answer the questions), but he's not normal. You see he has a singular obsession--straightening the chairs in the library before he sits down. He doesn't straighten just one or two chairs, but all the empty chairs within his purview. Nor does he attend to his self-imposed duty without complaint. He mutters under his breath quite violently (unfortunately he mutters so unintelligibly I cannot report on his conversation). He rocks on his feet a little too while he works away at pushing in all the chairs that were left so dangerously far from their tables. It's a messy world--full of people who forget to push in their chairs, but we must be grateful for the man who pushes in the chairs at the library; he is a hero of order.
