Odontalgia

Searing pain aches through your body, you want to scream . . . but you manage to contain yourself, there are still other patients in the dentist’s waiting room. Finally, it’s your turn. The dentist examines your aching tooth, then comes to the result, that he must remove it with the root. His assistant prepares the anaesthesia, and soon you fall asleep. Just before you completely slip away, you have a really weird vision: the dentist’s head is replaced by a monstrous visage, with wrinkled skin, a bundle of tentacles instead of a mouth and a dozen eyes with pitch-black irises...

Possibilities

1 You wake up and everything went well. The assistant gives you an appointment for the new implant. This dentist is really okay!

And then the assistant also vanishes without a trace. Strange...

2 You wake up and everything went well, it was just a dream. However, the dentist has one more surprise for you: the pulled tooth was hollow, and inside it contained a small electronic device. It’s a small transmitter with which somebody can determine the carrier’s location...

3 You don’t wake up. Instead, you’re trapped in a dreamworld – and you’ve already met the owner of this place...
