"Aaaugh…! The thing I feared most happened again. The cavity that I’d left alone because I hate going to the dentist started to hurt. It was the day of the deadline for my manuscript, but the pain was so bad I couldn’t sleep. I just couldn’t bear it, so I ran to the dentist’s, but I was too late, and had to get it pulled. Then, I was forced to work while dealing with the pain. It may have been my fault, but it was still the worst, most hellish day…."
