"The thing you need to know about the paranoid," the voice said, "is that they're not all that interesting. You look at them and you think they're scared, think they're convinced someone's after them, someone keeping an eye on them so they can find weaknesses to exploit. It's all marketing. Way down deep, these are people who want to believe somebody cares. They convince themselves someone's following their every move because that's the only way they know of to drive away that fear, that deep-seated fear that they're just as dull as dishwater. Just only as dull as that cliché."

I looked around to see who was speaking. Nobody was there. I think maybe somebody's been following me.
