The door opened, and with it a current of air. With the current of air came the lackadaisical lifting of already sitting pollen. With the pollen … a sneeze.
A stocky fellow was rubbing his face with a handkerchief, looking up with bored, red-streaked eyes. He sat in a chair a ways away from the actual desk, because the desk was closer to the neighbor’s rapeseed patches. He had pulled them one year, only to find the neighbor watching them and the neighbors across with binoculars.
He settled for urinating off-season where he knew they grew a couple years later, fingers crossed that it would make the soil less habitable for the vengeful plant.
The only effect was disappointment.
“Hello,” he said, then cleared his throat. “How can I help you?”
The person entering might catch a lingering French accent to his English.
