The Bone Traders - Quote of the Day



Quote of the day is a painful one! Well, I at least think it is! Enjoy and feel free to comment, especially if you are a dentist...



The first jab of the blade at the base of the incisor causes David to wretch. He spits away the sour bile that has risen in his mouth as he struggles to inhale through his nostrils. A tear forms in the corner of his right eye and it collects dust as it descends. David lifts his upper lip. A thin line of blood stains his gum. He brings up the blade yet again and allows it to hover there as he opens his eyes and looks out across the canyon floor. He focuses on the approaching horses. He thinks only of the approaching horses.
With a deft jab and a twist, David thrusts the blade deep and up into his gum toward the root of his upper, left incisor. He will have to cut at least a third of an inch deep.
