"I was standing in front of the mirror, brushing my teeth before bed. Everything felt normal. The bathroom was quiet, and the light was warm.
Then, I felt something strange. One of my front teeth moved. I touched it with my tongue, and it wobbled like a loose button. My heart started to beat faster.
I looked in the mirror and opened my mouth. My tooth was tilting to the side. I gently pushed it with my finger, and it fell right out into my palm. It didn’t hurt. But my hand was shaking.
I tried to smile at myself, but then another tooth fell. And another. They started dropping like tiny white stones—*plink, plink, plink*—into the sink. I couldn’t stop them. I grabbed my jaw, trying to hold them in, but they just kept coming out.
I called for my mom, but no sound came out. My mouth felt empty and wet. I looked at my reflection. My smile was gone. There were only dark gaps where my teeth used to be. I looked like a different person—someone old and weak.
I tried to spit the teeth out of my mouth, but there were too many. They filled my cheeks like marbles. I couldn’t close my lips properly. I started to cry, but even my tears felt strange.
Then, I woke up. I quickly touched my teeth with my tongue. They were all there—solid and strong. I took a deep breath. It was just a dream. But my heart was still pounding, and I didn’t go back to sleep for a long time."
