the mysterious barking man
I am in the library. Behind me is this guy -- maybe in his late thirties -- who keeps sniffing, clearing his throat, and then barking. I think it's meant to be a cough, but he honest-to-god sounds exactly like a dog barking.
Twice now I've offered him a tissue, and he keeps saying he's just fine. Then he sniffles some more and barks again.
It's really loud, too; people all over the room turn and look to see who on earth is barking in the library.
...
I wonder why he won't admit that something's wrong.
