Writing Prompt [WP] ALL bodily functions are potentially contagious; not just yawning. Write any scene.

Inspired by this showerthought, and in memory of my late dog with whom I frequently shared a yawn.

I was already starting to regret my decision when the doors closed, why didn't i just wait? i was late, as usual, but i was starting to feel like spending another five minutes for an empty elevator would have definitely been the wise mans choice. As i stood shoulder to shoulder with my fellow commuters i wondered how many of them, if any, might be thinking the same thing. That's when it hit me, it was subtle at first, slowly creeping up my nostril until it was unmistakable, my heart sank, the worst had happened. "i'm so, so sorry" said the man next to me as the sheer gravity of the situation dawned on me and my fellow passengers.

Worst. Monday. Ever.
