Shame - Speculative Fiction Authors (reading rainbow books txt) 📗

As the man fell, writhing and convulsing, I was grateful that it wasn't me and ashamed because it should have been.

I have done some horrible things recently that I wasn't quite proud of.

Don't you laugh, but I was walking down the street  trying to pick my nose unseen, while letting out a big sneeze which cause me to pass wind.

I might have got away with it too, if it wasn't for the group of kids who walked pasted me laughing and one shouted, "Hey, Mister! That was uncalled for!"

I'm so glad they didn't light a match while phone filming me.

 A man walked passed me and fell suddenly to the ground, sickened by my smell.

While others rush to his side and  the kids took pictures to post on Facebook, I stepped back into the growing crowd to hide my shame and disappear.
