    About this ebook

    I went for a teeth cleaning. The technician was one I had not had before. She was different from the others. She began to talk and did a good deal of it while I needed to keep my mouth open. I would like to have been able to speak, but I was not always able to make my opinion known. I think you'll find this story amusing.

      “What’d you do now?” he hollered. Sheriff Thorn’s words struck my heart. Without thinking, I grasped the knife to pull it from her chest. “Shit, you crazy coot, drop it,” he snarled, then grabbed me up and slammed me against the side of the cruiser.
