The man on the bus

So I keep seeing this strange man on the bus lately. He seems to be in his late 20's to early 30's. He gets on at different stops carrying an old plastic bag. He sits in the same seat at the front of the bus facing sideways.

He lifts his hands up and starts expecting them, they have these hard white lumps all over them, pretty big ones. They look rough and unlike anything I've seen. I tried looking it up but can't find anything like it. He starts putting plasters on each lump and it's almost as if he has a never ending supply in his bag. He puts on plaster after plaster until almost all of his hands are covered.

Weirdly I never see him get off, something distracts me and when I look back he's gone. It's really unusual and I can't explain it. On top of it all it's as if no one else realises it. No one else looks at him. No one else talks to him. A woman sat right towards him and still she never looked directly at him.

I'm starting to wonder if he's a real person. If he really is just some weird guy on the bus with some sort of medical condition. Or maybe it's just all in my head. To be honest it wouldn't be the first time I've hallucinated on the bus. Once I saw everyone looking at me like owls, their heads following me. Of course I knew that was impossible.

This man however, I just don't know if he's real. He's in so much detail but I guess so was my other hallucination. It's just hard to tell and I don't want to talk to him, I wouldn't want to offend him but also wouldn't want to be seen talking to thin air...

I guess I just want to know if I'm losing my mind or if I've just had some weird encounters with this guy. I just don't know how to tell.
