It’s 2:00PM, and my brother and I
are removing our wisdom teeth. My heart was beating so fast, I feel like I can
hear it in my ears. I don’t know what it’s going to be like when the dentist puts
me under anesthesia, I hope nothing embarrassing happens. I’ve seen other
people’s reaction to anesthesia while removing their wisdom teeth. Needless to
say, I hope I don’t end up on the internet. I wonder if my brother is as
apprehensive as I am, but the nurse wouldn’t allow me to see him before my
procedure. My anxiety is now more intense, which goes with the pain of my
mouth.
The procedure is finally over, and
I stumble into my house with the help of my mother. She puts me to bed to rest.
I hear a sound coming from the air, but it does not sound like her voice. I
think it’s music. Perhaps she thought it would help put me to sleep. As I lay
on my bed, I’m encompassed by comforting familiarity. The song, even through my
clouded state, I can recognize. It’s “Suck it and See” by Arctic Monkeys, a
band I’ve been experiencing. I don’t hear the words, but the music I can hear.
Suddenly, I’m filled with overwhelming elation. This might be due to the
anesthesia from the dentist, or maybe I’ve missed the beauty hidden from this
treasure. But I can hear and feel the love that is permeated within the song.
Even with no words, I can feel it. I couldn’t help but cry. It’s the most
beautiful thing I’ve heard. Now I see why this band will forever be my
favorite. My God this song! Without a doubt my favorite. For life. Forever in
this clouded world.
