“AAAHHCHOO!” Matt liked to call them ‘religious experience’ sneezes. “If you have to sneeze, make it a good one,” he always said.

He shook his head watching in amazement as dust particles floated around him. His curly blond hair was coated in the stuff. He shook his head again and this time larger pieces dropped onto his shoulders.

Removing his safety goggles he looked around. “Whoa!” he whistled. Sheet rock from the ceiling lay crumbled about the room – the source of the dust. One ceiling beam swung loose.

“Guess it’s a good thing we signed that Hold Harmless agreement!”

    Awesome. My husband sneezes the same way – hurts my ears if we’re in the car.

    I think I sneeze like that. Wonderful descriptions.

    I wondered what large sneeze particles he musts be issuing! Haha! Glad to know it was “harmless” sheetrock! Nice imagery. Good job.

  4. What a fun post! Good job.

    I love it. Great job.

  6. I, too, am a loud sneezer. I can’t imagine how some of those girls do the quiet little sneezes, seems like their brains would fly out their ears.

  7. Haha. “religious experience sneezes”. Yeah, I have those.

    My daughter has a friend who is seized by sneeze attacks, 8 or so in rapid succession. My daughter is intensely curious how this girl is going to drive safely with this condition.
