Sinful sneezes

[Heathcliff]

Recently, because of special work events, I've been out for a few meals- living the high life! (Sort of...) Eating nice food and drinking too much wine. Last Saturday, I was so drunk I can barely remember getting home... and I bought a packet of cigarettes on the way (something I do once in a blue moon). But, I decided I would rather smoke them than chuck them in a bin- so tonight I went into the street outside my flat for a cigarette and a can of beer.

So, I'm smoking, looking at the dark street- the drunk students going home from the clubs, the dark mossy stones of the ruined church nearby- and I get this enormous need to sneeze. Perhaps due to blowing smoke through my nose, or just a random tickle? I don't know. But I got my large white Marks and Spencers handkerchief out of my pocket, unfolded it clumsily, and sneezed loudly into it: "Heeh-Shooo!"

I'm no stranger to sneezing when drunk, and I thought there would be a couple more sneezes to follow... sure enough, I let out another three big sneezes into my hanky... all sounding like "Heeh-Choo!" What was surprising, though, is that I sneezed another three times after that. (I counted, surely you would too )

Seven sneezes is unusual for me- and I called this obs 'Sinful Sneezes' because I felt guilty for having this experience while drinking and smoking... because they are bad things to do, but I enjoyed these sneezes so much!

I don't usually write up an obs just after it happens, but this one felt a little different. Hope you enjoyed reading!

Thanks for sharing! I can just imagine the scene. Your descriptions and conveyance of emotion are very good, as always.

I love drunk sneezes. Not sure why, but there's something particularly sexy about them. Bless you!

Maybe it's because drunk sneezes are... kinda more messy?

I noticed that (I know, the kid like me shouldn't be around drunk guys, but in my hometown, you are able to see all sorts of people, from some guys taking little horses to walk like dogs, to <------- well, such people).
