Writing Prompts - Creative Copy Challenge 
Can God sneeze? Are the Deity’s stuffy nose and watery eyes the roots of disaster? An earthquake be nothing more than a cosmic ‘ah choo’?
What allergies might the Almighty suffer that could leave us so prostrate, crying out? What celestial bloom, what otherworldly petal could produce pollen of such consequence?
What can we do but what we have been taught: send fervent “Gesundheits,” skyward in hope that the Creator will stem our malady. Hope that our prayers will branch, their growth achieving a volume that reaches him.
But what, I ask, if we have it backwards? What if the allergen is us?
I love the way you express the allergy – and the possibility that we could be an allergen is a great twist.
Chet ~ Great opening sentence! And what a wonderful Last Sentence!
Write On, Please,

Every spring I have WATERY eyes and SNEEZE profusely. The POLLEN blows in the wind and right into my nose. I still enjoy an occasional BLOOM. I put the flowers in a vase making sure the STEM is deep enough to keep them from dying too quickly. They do eventually die, and the PETALS fall all over the counter. I find they are better off left on their BRANCHES with their ROOTS deep. Their GROWTH SKYWARD is beautiful and fulfilling, as long as I don’t breathe in the POLLEN. I am satisfied enjoying them from a distance.
Babswh ~ I should stop cutting the flowers and let them be in someone else’s yard as pollen is not my friend, either!
Write On,
