Don’t breathe too hard, the air might infect your numbed gaping mouth, sneak in some fleshy cavity and die, the stink emitting deathly bile that seeps through gauze, onto tongue, down throat, tormenting tastebuds, filling cheeks with sick rot until some frightening tool, some cold industrial instrument, comes along to rip the defective suture from your gums, relieving your jaw of its ache, your mouth of its stench. And blood— sweet warm living blood— replaces vile secretion, and the crusted yellow stitch lies there alone on a steel table.
In case anyone's wondering, dry socket is probably the least pleasant experience to ever exist.
