A man passed, and he thought with horror, that guy smells like he shit his pants.
She passed in a green skirt and bright, flowery sweater. The man grimaced as acrid body odor assaulted his nose, and then another went by — he didn’t see her — in the other direction, filling the air with stale cigarette smoke that could’ve been Pall Malls.
An anonymous person passed in a haze of sour milk. Another clumped past with big, heavy red boots and large, swinging red purse, leaving moth balls’ ammonia scents wafting behind her. Her smell battled a urine fragrance as a sagging-faced gray man passed, then the skunk of marijuana from a lithe and young dark-haired man drifted through in the opposite direction.
Then he trudged by with a dirty hair smell from his hooded green coat.
Standing to leave, the man wondered, what do people smell when I go by?

*shrugs* I have a terrible sense of smell. It picks up on the weirdest stuff randomly. Annoying when I cook, because I can’t smell it so I tend to go with how it looks and sounds, timing.

I’ve begun wondering if I’ve developed/am developing hyperosmia,as my sense of smell seems to be heightened. Time will tell.
