DOCTOR HOLLYWOOD SMILES REPORT, AKA HSR,
A GRADUATE OF USC
OSTROW DENTAL SCHOOL
IS
TRYING TO
FIGURE HIS WAY OUT
OF A
DARK AND COLD
MEDIEVAL-LOOKING CASTLE,
AND
HOPING THAT HE’LL
FINALLY FIND
THE MAIN EXIT,
BUT,
EACH TIME HE ENTERS ONE ROOM,
WHICH INVARIABLY CONTAINS
AN UNEXPECTED
AND MENACING MONSTER...
SO FAR,
HAS BEEN ABLE TO
EXTRICATE HIMSELF
AND ESCAPE OUT OF
ALL OF THOSE ROOMS,
BUT NO ROOMS YET,
HAVE AN OUTSIDE EXIT!
OKAY...SO,
HE KEEPS ON GOING INTO
A NEW ROOM
AND FINDING
ANOTHER TYPE OF YUCKY LIVING THING,
KEEP HIM,
AND MAYBE PLAY (?)
WITH HIM,
SO,
IN THE LATEST ROOM,
WE FIND DOCTOR REPORT
TRYING TO GET AWAY
FROM SOMETHING LARGE
THAT SLITHERS
AND DRAGS ITSELF ON THE FLOOR,
BUT THE ROOM
IS DARK,
SO,
AND HE SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY,
AND BLINDLY,
WALKS,
TOUCHING THE WALL,
AS HE GOES ALONG TO FIND,
ANOTHER DOOR
BUT, NOW,
AS HE
FINALLY FINDS
THE DOORKNOB OF A NEW DOOR,
TO GET OUT OF THIS ROOM,
HE FEELS A
WET AND SLIMY TENTACLE,
AND UNDER HIS PANTS,
SO
HE SCREAMS LOUDLY
AND 'HIGH-NOTEY'...
LIKE A SOPRANO,
THEN HE
KICKS THE TENTACLE
WITH HIS OTHER FOOT,
BUT,
ANOTHER TENTACLE GRABS THAT OTHER FOOT,
SO NOW,
HE’S IN A 'BIG VAT'
OF TROUBLE,
BUT FORTUNATELY,
HIS HANDS
FINALLY FIND
ANOTHER DOOR AND DOORKNOB
WHICH LEADS,
YES,
TO ANOTHER ROOM!...
SO,
HE TWISTS THE KNOB,
AND THE DOOR SWINGS OPEN,
LETTING IN A LOT OF LIGHT,
AND MAKES
THE SLITHERING AND TENTACLED MONSTER
WRAPPED AROUND HIS LEGS,
QUICKLY LET GO,
WHICH IS A GOOD THING,
SO,
THE DOCTOR HIGH STEPS IT
OUT OF THERE
INTO THE NEXT ROOM,
WHICH HAS ENOUGH LIGHT
TO SEEM LIKE
IT’S OUTSIDE,
BUT IT’S NOT,
HOWEVER...HE’S SO
AT LEAST,
TO GET TENTACLE-FREE,
BUT,
WHAT WAITS FOR HIM
IN THE NEW ROOM NOW
IS
A WOMAN SEATED
AT
A TABLE
WORKING WITH
SOME
CARDS!
AND THAT LADY
REMINDS HIM
OF A HIGH SCHOOL FRIEND HE
NOW, SHE LOOKS UP
AND CONCENTRATES ON THE DENTIST,
AND SAYS,
"WELCOME VISITOR!...
PICK A CARD...
...ANY CARD!..."
THEN,
HE THINKS
CAUTIOUSLY
FOR A SECOND OR TWO...
...THEN...
...NOW...
HIS ATTENTION
TURNS TO
A CREATURE
IN A CORNER NOT TOO
FAR FROM
HIM!...
AND THE SOOTH SAYER LADY
SAYS TO THE DOCTOR,
"OH, DON'T MIND HIM...
HE'S ONLY HUNGRY!..."
HSR THEN TURNS
HIS ATTENTION
BACK TO THE CARDS...
AND HE CHOOSES ONE
AND
TURNS IT OVER...
NOW, THE WOMAN SAYS,
"YOU JUST
PICKED THE CARD THAT
DIRECTS YOU TO
ENTER DOOR NUMBER TWO!"
AND THE DOC ASKS ,
"WELL, WHAT IF
I WANT TO GO
THROUGH
DOOR NUMBER ONE?"
"YOU MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO
COME BACK OUT,
AND GO THROUGH DOOR #2!,
SHE ASSURES...
SO, HE
WALKS SLOWLY
TO
DOOR #2,
AND TRIES TO OPEN THE DOOR,
BUT IT
WON'T BUDGE!...
THEN SUDDENLY,
A TRAP DOOR
OPENS BENEATH HIM
AND
THEN,
USING SOME OF
HIS RESERVE ENERGY,
HSR GETS UP AND LOOKS
AROUND THE ROOM
AND THERE'S
A WINDOW!...HIP HIP HOORAY!
"MAYBE I CAN ESCAPE
THROUGH THAT WINDOW!"
SO,
BUT THIS THING
JUMPS IN FRONT OF HIM!
NOW
PETRIFIED, HE
SCREAMS AGAIN,
AND RUNS TO
ANOTHER VISIBLE
DOOR
AND
SLAMS IT SHUT
AFTER HE GOES THROUGH IT!
AND EVERYTHING'S QUIET...UNTIL...
HE HEARS SOME SLOW,
BUT,
HEAVY
BREATHING BEHIND HIM..
AND HE TURNS AROUND
AND SEES
ONE SCARY DUDE!
...THEN
HSR HEARS
ONE PERSON OFF
TO THE SIDE SAY,
"HEY...
TRY AND
...
SO,
HOLE IN THE WALL
WHERE
A PERSON IS HAVING
THAT
THIS ROOM
IS SORT OF DARK, TOO,
AND SPEAKS,
"HELLO THERE, SIR!...
PLEASE COME IN...TO MY
MICROBIOLOGICAL EXPERIMENTAL LABORATORY PREMISES!...
...AS WE DELVE INTO OUR
DOUBLE-BLIND STUDIES TOGEHER...
...YOU'LL 'BE STRAIGHT'...
...WITH ME!"...
...
"SIR, ALL OF THE
PROTOCOLS ARE SET
AND READY TO
GO FOR
MY EXPERIMENT ON YOU!"
"WA...WAIT," HE PLEADS,
"WHAT EXPERIMENT ARE
YOU TALKING ABOUT?...I DON'T..."
..."NOT TO WORRY!...
THESE PROBES
MIGHT HURT
JUST A
'SMIDGE!'"
AND...
...JUST AT THE EXACT
MOMENT THAT HSR
STARTS TO CRY, "I...I...I...,"
THIS PERSON
WALKS BY THEM
AND SAYS.
SHE ASKS...
"IT'S THE TASTE!"...
...WHICH MAKES HIM LEAVE THE
ROOM FASTER!...THEN...
HE SEES A HALLWAY
WITH SEVERAL OPENING DOORS
AND
ROOMS ON
THE SIDES
AS HE
BUT...
...UNBEKNOWNST TO HIM,
SOMEONE OR SOMETHING
WATCHES AND FOLLOWS
HIM
ALL
ALONG THE WAY...
...WHEN...
...AT THE END OF THE
HALLWAY...
...SUDDENLY!...
...YIKES!...
.........
WHICH MAKES THE DENTIST...
FREEZE IN HIS TRACKS!
BUT...NOTHING LIKE A MONSTER,
QUICKLY,
REVEALS ITSELF....
SO, THE DOCTOR
CAUTIOUSLY MOVES ON!...
HEY!...WHAT'S THIS!...
...SOME PEOPLE COME FROM BEHIND SOME DOORS
AND WARN,
"YOU CAN COME INSIDE OUR ROOMS ...
...OR...
...YOU CAN
STAND AROUND
AND
WAIT FOR WHAT'S NEXT!"
"WHY YOU TALKING TO MY WOMAN?"
THAT SUBCONSCIOUS INTERACTION,
RIGHT THERE,
MAKES THE DOCTOR'S 'BOSS ID'
BURST INTO THE DREAM ROOM AND
TELL THE DREAMING DENTIST THAT
HE MUST WAKE UP...NOW...
...RIGHT NOW...AND HE MUST GO OUTSIDE
AND
TRUST THIS PERSON
WHO IS IN THE HALL
WAITING FOR HIM!
This Halloween...
...May you have many...
...(Gulp!)...Smiles!...
