He chewed his gum and realised that it had no flavour left. It had started to taste a little bit like rubber, which should really have warned him about the ingredients which the artificial flavouring had been masking.
He took the gum from his mouth and pressed it into the underside of the desk. There were several hard lumps already under there from other students.
He took a packet from his pocket and tossed a new piece of gum in his mouth.
It tasted strange.
He could feel his tongue start to swell and his throat close up.
He fell from his seat and started to convulse.
The lesson continued.
