Trip To the Dentist

White coat, blue mask, optical eye staring intently at me as I sat, motionless. Sterilized instruments of torture gleamed at me in the pristine tray. Numbed, knowing I was losing a little more of myself, I was helpless as this seemingly normal human was transformed into this sick, twisted, sadistic torturer. Taking pleasure in the misery of others. Push, twist, pinch, wedge, pull … oops, it broke! Let me know if you feel something sharp. Pick, poke, prod, there. I think I got it all. You may be sore for a couple of days. Take aspirin or ibuprophen if it gets bad (aspirin? Is he kidding?). Two days later and I want my daughter to smack my face with a baseball bat. I have found a new enemy … and his name is Dentist! In real life, I love my dentist. Just some sarcastic fun. Please don't replace my Novocaine with water!! Tony
