the dentist place

i went to the dentist.

i found this place in costa mesa, in an outdoor shopping mall. i think it's called "the balms". or is it the palms.

i was drawn to the place for apparent reason. the ad post said: "exchange special friendship." or something like that i didn't recall.

as soon as i walked in there i was led to a cell room. i walked out and about to see what was going on in the other rooms. some indian woman was helping another lady put jewelries all over her body. i walked to the next room, and one of the nurses at this dentist place started telling me about her life, how she ended up there and all. all the sudden i had an urge to cry but i managed to holding it in anyway--confused and not knowing what to do with my life.

i walked out of the dentist to shop around. and then i saw grandpa standing there waiting for me. he had 2 puddings in his hand, one was for him and one was for me. i managed to hold on to this moment a minute longer.. even though i felt it shifting away because i was almost waking. i wrote "i love grandpa" to him and told him so before the dream left me.


and there, that was that. i walked back to the dentist place, which was now structured behind a grand, locked golden door, resembling a chinese temple-style palace entrance. i couldn't enter in anymore for it was closed and locked..
