Ryan sneezed.

Stephen jumped.

The tranquillizer dart hit a sheep.

Cutter glared.

The farmer looked unimpressed.

The sheep looked surprised and keeled slowly over.

Ryan rummaged through the pockets of his tac vest, sniffing.

Stephen’s next shot caught the fleeing predator in the shoulder.

The farmer started to relax.

Search concluded, Ryan brandished the illusive handkerchief in triumph and remembered slightly too late what he’d last used it for. Apart from cleaning his guns.

The stains were all too obvious.

Stephen grinned. He’d told Ryan to use tissues.

Connor snickered.

Ryan sighed.  Maybe he’d start taking the tablets after all.

I just nearly fell off the chair I was laughing so much at that.

"The sheep looked surprised and keeled slowly over."

I agree with Telperion_15, this line was inspired.

oops. Apologies to all concerned, it wasn't Telperion_15, it was Entangled_now.

Sorry. See, that's how much I was laughing that I failed to notice the identity of the previous comment.

I used to get awful hayfever, so it was the obvious take on it for me :)
