“Have you ever kissed a lover
so hard
you chipped a tooth?”
she asked
with a grin that
revealed more than one
chipped tooth
He shook his head. “No, and I
really don’t intend
to.”
Well, that’s what you get
for hitting
on a girl you meet
in the yard of the local asylum. But

nurse...
“Anyway,” he said. “If this is what happened
to you… What happened
to him? I mean,
after the kiss.”
“Oh, there were many,
many kisses actually,” she said. “He’s
dead now.”
“What? He died?”
“Well, yeah, dogs don’t
live that much. Compared to humans,
I mean.”
