Popping a few pleasant tasting fruit into his mouth, he took a deep breath through his nose.<br/><br/>Smell was one of the most subtle senses, often fading into the back of your mind.  However, it was also the most tied to memory.  Alma’s mind flashed back to the first time he crossed the tunnel.  He had actively clawed at his tongue to get the taste off, and hadn’t noticed the lack of smell until just before they left this section.  It was then he realized what was coming next.<br/><br/>Alma firmly shut his mouth, crossed his arms, and leaned his elbows against his knees.
