Role

Chapter 12

There was an odd physical characteristic to him. His right canine was
extremely long, and could be called disfiguring, as it stuck out of his
mouth, hanging their thick and ugly looking. The doctor finally agreed to
fix it after much pleading from the child, and took him to the "good" surgery
room, to file the canine down, sharpening it down to resemble a long slender
fang, as it would have been unsafe to remove or completely file down. The
doctor was extremely satisfied with his work, and made the boy handsome
again, now with an interesting feature, rather than an ugly one. He decided
he should start calling him Needle. Not very clever, but he thought it was
funny, and the child didn't seem to mind. He then decided it was time to put
him on the real table.
