smell

Sitting in the same place it wavers over the room, intensifying when the door is opened and when the temperature increases. Sweet and musky, it is praised and lamented from various passers by, until the sensation merits segregation from the general population. There is a sense of purpose in its charm. It takes on other scents from what it encounters adding earth and a fresh dew to its aroma. What was once sweet in a large room, then overwhelming in a small, becomes absent in its abundance. Exposure desensitizes all results from appreciation to aversion. One step in making the audience stand senseless.
