Oh, My Ears














The bell rang.  She was glad.  She finished the last math as mucous continued to secrete in her throat.  It was torture.  She could not stop recall his comment, they coughed at people's ears.  She remembered well, and reminded herself not to repeat the mistake.  She did not intend to, but she coughed, and coughed another to relieve her throat.

She buried her face on her palms.  "In sickness and in health," she grumbled.  Her cheeks warmed to red.
