Quick Tale #2

Near Death

He lay there, prone and exposed. Strange noises, eerily similar to rats gnawing at old leather, in his head. The pain. The mind numbing, searing pain. The ignominy of lying helpless. The hot orb of light burning above. He lay there. Prone, unable to move, unable to think, not wanting anything except for the pain to end. For it all to end.

And then the dentist said “You’re done”

But the real pain comes afterwards, much after you leave the dentist’s execution chair. Teeth somehow have a built-in clock. The pain peaks at dusk.
