For the first time that day, I was seen by the eyes of another human being, coated in my own mucus, which was now inexplicably visible.
I can explain, officer.
Uh-huh.
Two conflicting streams of thought filled my head. Part of my mind was puzzling over the appearance (and now, it seemed, disappearance) of my bodily fluids.
Well, you see... uh...
I'm waiting.
Luckily, the second stream of thought - "run away from the policeman I showered in mucus" - proved to me more dominant.
