Stinking Subway

I walk onto the subway platform. I have a choice of two benches, each seated with one person. The guy on the closest bench looks moderately normal. The further bench is much closer to where I need to get on the train, but holds a person of unknown caliber. He or she is sitting in an odd fashion, semi-curled. Bad sign; I don't want to take a chance. I sit on the first bench.

I notice a smell; it smells like . . . pee? Definitely pee. But mixed with something else. I recognize the smell of a farm, like cow manure mixed with hay, like the agricultural barns at the Wisconsin State Fair. I look on either side of me, there is no sign of the source.

A girl approaches and sits between me and the guy. There's still an empty seat on either side of her, it is still a safe choice. She looks like a normal college student. She and the guy seem oblivious to the pee/farm smell. It is so strong that I consider commenting on it to her. But I decide not to. Maybe she thinks its me.
