“Your teeth…. they’re all gone.”
Those words hit me harder than anything ever had.
That disgusting creature—perhaps even the tooth fairy—had taken every last one while I sat passed out from the drugs. What the hell was I supposed to do now?
“Dentures,” the Dr. said, as if reading my mind.
“Dentures are going to be the best option for-”
NO!
I didn’t say the word (as I was unable to), but a shake of my head and the look in my eyes told them all they needed to know. I wasn’t wearing any dentures. I was going to get my own fucking teeth back!
I gestured for a pad of paper, my mother taking a moment or two to understand. After she did, I was handed the paper as well as a black-inked pen. I wrote quickly. I wrote furiously.
I WANT MY TEETH BACK.
“Honey, I’m afraid that’s just not possible. The building has no record of any Dr. Willie, and even if someone were to find him-”
I slammed the pad of paper down and stared off through the rainy window. Watching the cars speed by on the street below, tears began to come easily—just fourteen years old and something precious had already been taken away. They offered me a mirror; I couldn’t bear to look.
That night when we arrived home, I was given a warm bowl of soup—the worst soup of my life I might add. I wasn’t able to chew even the smallest vegetable, and survived that night on warm chicken broth and gatorade. My mom kept insisting I settle on dentures, but I had something else planned.
Before I go on, you have to understand something. I was terrified of seeing that creature again, but after I awoke from the trauma… there was another feeling as well.
Hatred.
I hated the thing that had done this to me. I hated that he had taken something so precious. And most of all, I hated that he had done this to so many children before.
Somehow I knew what to do. After my mom and dad went to sleep, I was going to sneak out of the house and head back to the scene of the crime. Something told me that the creature that had tormented me would be there—waiting.
But I had a surprise for him this time—or so I thought.
Checking my parent’s room, I quietly headed back to my own bedroom and climbed down the the gutter drain. I jumped the last few feet down onto the driveway, and began to jog down the center of the empty street towards the tall building.
