At times it’s like there’s a string from my tooth tied to the front of the brain, yanking out a chunk of it until it hurts
At times it’s a spike grinding back and forth and sideways into the gums
At times there’s a razor blade slicing forward from the back of the mouth to the front, slicing back and forth
At times the gremlin goes schizophrenic and just start slicing everywhere or stabbing everywhere in whatever direction and orientation it pleases
At times there’s a knife thrusting into the gums in a single deep jab
At times it’s an explosion of pain from the epicenter
At times it’s a hammer pounding outward rhythmically
At times it’s a razor that scrapes up and down the length of the cheek
At times it’s a wall of pain clamping down from the left and right
