The Dentist Story

I had tooth that needed to be removed the hard way. It was cracked up and down and also crosswise under the gumline. It was a root canaled tooth so it didn’t hurt but the worst part was that during this procedure they had "oldies" on the ipod cuz thats what i asked for.. first song Abba's Dancing Queen, not terrible... well they start in with the face jabbing and skull yanking and thats when i hear it.

over the sickening sounds of metal tools gripping then loosing purchase on tooth, the *TIK TIK TIK* of cracking teeth i hear a wailing, horrid sound. a wretched noise that shakes me to my core.

its Stevie Nicks singing Landslide. Its a LIVE version... and it lasts ALL OF ETERNTIY.

i try to focus on the pressure of a grown man pulling at this encumbered root, welded to my jaw.

I think loose thoughts. Knowing as soon as this tooth was out I could have them TURN OF THAT DAMN SONG. But it gets worse.

THE DRILL! OH the drill will save me from the sound of that woman kicking a song to death.  But yet Wicked Wendy One Note The Awful Witch Queen of FleetWood Mac pours her filthy aural nightshade in my ear. 

My head RATTLES with the noise of the drill, the high pitched WHINE of its motor, the odd smell or vaporized bone and dentin wafts in my nose yet even through all that I hear the atonal wailing all around me. EVERYONE ONE IN THE ROOM IS SINGING LANDSLIDE AND THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO.

I am in Hell
