- I lost my toothbrush.
- Where did you have it last?
- In my mouth.
A girl has a cavity, but at this stage we'd do more accurate to say a cavity has a girl.
She opened her mouth for her mother and father and they saw the toothbrush floating out of reach in a gaping black air beginning near her upper left molars.
- Of course this had to happen to our daughter! Of all things!
They drove her to the hospital, which didn't seem quite right, but where else. The girl was looking out the window as if onto something endless.
What the doctors could do was monitor the cavity and chart its progress. It grew, though measuring its growth with any confidence of precision was impossible. Once daily they would send a small bright thing into the cavity (meals were long; some food would always wander) and observe where it stopped as if by a wall, a little further all the time. On the 9th day of the 2nd month, they watched the small bright thing float out of vision and leaned back.
What the doctors could do was monitor the girl.
"Notably calm and positive!"; this is what they took her silence for;
the girl was looking out the window as if
backing into some
Endless.
