The light within

He felt like the spores went into his eyes too when they were released into the air. They stung, and he could almost feel them fill his nose and lungs. Hikaru suddenly sneezed, the spray looking like it was glowing. He tried to use his paw to cover his mouth and the glow was obvious on his pale fur. Again he sneezed, each time slightly less painful than the first but uncomfortable all around. He almost missed the way the mushroom seemed to wiggle and move under Mort’s paw, and he thought that maybe it was his imagination to begin with. Another sneeze and more glow on Hika’s paw as he sneezed out the spores within.
