Eee-choo

I have spent the past five minutes sneezing at the screen; little tiny peekachew sneezes as the dust torments my nose. I am hoping for a loud body shuddering sneeze that will clear the dust fairies out but that is not to come.
I can remember sneezing thus as a child, sneezing so hard that my body would double over as my knee jerked up to my head, knocking my already tormented nose dead on. I remember the feel of those sneezes, how afterwards even though my nose was a little worse for wear, my head would feel clear, my body all tingly and my nose happier for the lack of particles that had been tormenting it a few moments before. Those sneezes have long since stopped, as they become an endangerment to my bodies well being; walk down hallway sneeze, bonk head on doorframe. Stand in bathroom, sneeze, double over, hit temple on edge of sink. As the years past and the afflictions become worst I had learnt to control my sneezing in such a way that I would not bang into anything with force. They become quieter and smaller, little eeckachoo sneezes that only caused the mildest of body doubling, as stomach muscles tensed to hold the torso in place and toes scrunched tight to keep feet firmly on floor. The only downside, aside from sounding like a mouse, is that the dust never clears and I spend minutes sneezing away as my body tries to clear it's air passage.
What I would do for a good loud nose-clearing sneeze, that doesn't result in a concussion.
