The Toothache

by Mike Bozart

On a foggy morning in 1954, a middle-aged man in San Francisco has a bad toothache. He begins walking to try to get his mind off of it. In a small cafe', he gets some homeopathic advice. But, only the Golden Gate Bridge can provide permanent relief from the extreme pain. Based on a tragic, real-life event. Approx. 1100 words. If this little tale were a movie, it would most likely be rated PG-13 (some foul-language thoughts).
