Childhood+Memories+2

Finally. Four hours on trains, just to reach what was supposedly one of the most beautiful places in Switzerland. It was roughly an hour on four different trains, one from Gland to Vevey, then from Vevey to Montreux, Montreux to Zweisimmen and finally from Zweisimmen to Interlaken Ost.

The Gland one wasn’t too bad, it was one of the normal express ones with comfy seats and two floors. The Vevey one was a rickety affair with no air-conditioning but nice people. The Montreux one was a luxurious one with panoramic views and pretty much a “first class train”. The Zweisimmen was a completely different story from everything else though. It was awful; let me tell you, awful. It was about the same as the Vevey one, rickety, old, no air-conditioning. And the creepy thing was that we were practically the only ones on there, with barely anyone. Let’s not go and talk about the toilets. The only hint I’m giving about them is that it has to do something about opening a hole and feeling the cold air of the Switzerland nature flow out of the hole. It was also much worse than the others, much slower and more rickety than the Vevey one. Ugh. But we finally made it to Interlaken Ost, said to be one of the wonderful places in Switzerland.

On that day, it wasn’t as nice as everyone said. It was thirty-five degrees Celsius outside, which pretty much felt like the interior of an oven. The sky was a nice shade of blue, but it seemed to wither like the petals of a flower in the heat. There were no clouds outside, so there was barely any shelter. “Perfect. We’re both going to sweat like Equius out here.” I grumbled, walking out of the train station.

“Well, maybe we’ll just wait until the next train comes. We can enjoy this place for about 30 minutes.” My mom brightly said. Ah perfect. 30 minutes staying out in the sun and melting like 2 blocks of ice. //Great idea mom. I’d just love to stay out here with no shade or shelter. Or even a glass of cold water.// These thoughts ran through my mind like frenzied rats, as we walked around.

There wasn’t much to see, an empty road with no cars going past, a few open stores. Nobody was outside. A dock had a boat roped there, passengers were getting off, stepping onto the hard concrete. There was a concessions stand nearby and it was fairly busy, but not as busy as the cramped ice cream stall nearby. Interlaken Ost didn’t look as inviting as the Internet and all the guidebooks said.

“Can we go back now?” I asked. Apparently my mom agreed with me and she dragged me back onto the train, the same rickety, awful one we came on. None of us minded. We just wanted to get back to Gland. Away from the heat, and the most uninviting place on a hot day in Switzerland.

** The Dentist By, Warm ** There was a touch on the shoulder of my back. “ It’s your turn now” She whispers with a creepy smile on her face. There was water running down from my face at super speed and the air started getting cold. I knew there wasn’t a way out of this. The nurse was in front of me and my mom was behind me and I was in the middle. So I just needed to keep walking. Finally, we were at the dentist room. I felt the air getting heavier as I stepped into the room. In the dentist’s room, there were all sorts of materials that had made me frightened. For a second, my knees started shaking; I started sweating even more, until there was a touch on my shoulder that made me scream to death. “Are you ok?” My mom asked in a worried voice. I wasn’t in any shape to talk right now so I just nodded. The dentist quickly told me to come up onto the bed so we can get this overwith. I needed to follow his direction and went onto the bed as fast as possible. He lean down the bed and started to prepare his materials. On the other hand, the other lady got a long stuff and put it into my mouth and it started sucking my saliva. Finally, the man was ready; he got a little piece of mirror and a long sharp stuff like a toothpick and started picking on some of my tooth. At first, I thought it was going to hurt, but it kind of tickles. After he finished, he started talking to my mom about my tooth and my mom made a sad face. He put down both his equipment and grabbed another one. Now it was kind of like a syringe with a long wire at the back. The doctor grabbed one of the scissors and put it into my mouth and opened the scissor and now I needed to open my mouth until he took it out. The scissors made me bite on it and I can’t let go or force it out of the way and he kept the scissor there for 5 minutes. It was really painful. You weren’t aloud to close your mouth at all because of the scissors. The doctor and the lady were putting lots of stuff into my mouth and that made it real hard to breath.

Suddenly, the doctor turn back, and grab another one of his materials. It was long and big and there was something purple at the end where it will be going into my mouth. He put it into my mouth and it started getting purple. My mouth was at my limit. My face started turning red and there was nothing I could do. My cheeks were about to be puffed. For a while, the doctor started took out the equipment that were in my mouth one by one and set the chair back up to normal. He gave me a glass of water and told me to clean my mouth. After I finish, I quickly ran from the seat thinking that I was done but the doctor got me. “You are not finished yet, Warm.”

“What!?” I shouted. You still have one more thing to do. The lady handed me some kind of thing, there were orange stuff on it and she told me to put it in my mouth and bite it. When I putted into my mouth. Orange stuff were coming out and going to my teeth and it really tickled. “ Please do not spit it out for 2 minutes Warm. The lady asked with a creepy smile on her face and a frightening voice. I was feeling pain running down through my throat. I wasn’t able to hold it any longer; I needed to spit it out. I looked at the time and just 15 seconds has passed, Only 1 minute 45 seconds left till I would be able to spit it out. I didn’t know what I have to do. My mouth started getting sour, my cheeks got fatter, my eyes were about to pop out and it was getting harder to breath. I didn’t know how long I would be able to keep this up. It was 30 seconds left till I was able to spit it out. Suddenly, there was a sound of frighten, that freaked me out. I turned to the timer with a big smile on my face. I quickly spitted the orange stuff that was in my mouth and dashed out of the doctor’s room in an instant. I was happy that I was able to survive this dentist because it was one of the ones that was really scary and brought me lots of pain.
