The infection tore through the room.
It started subtly at first, one person hiding their symptom behind a politely crooked finger. Only one other person saw it, not because they were looking on purpose, but because the sun caught the ring on that politely crooked finger.
The symptom took the second person unawares with its speed, making their eyes water and their tongue ache, a hand clapped to their mouth with horror. The people on either side of them were infected immediately, not even bothering to hide it.
“Blimey, sorry my story is so boring. Who’s for another drink then?”
