Dr. Brian Mallory had been seeing a lot of his dental patients for years, and Amy Gladwell was one of them.  She was a very nice girl and came from nice parents, so Dr. Mallory was surprised when she came for her 6-month check-up and cleaning and he saw signs of bulimia in the little pit marks on her teeth.  Instead of talking to Amy, he spoke with her parents and they were aware of the problem, but the dentist's observation just confirmed it for them.The next time that Amy came in, she said that her parents had spoken to her and she was doing better.  As Dr. Mallory examined her mouth, her teeth were the same as last time, so he knew that her bulimia was under control and she had no more pitting in her teeth or gum disease.However, what Dr. Brian Mallory does discover in Amy's mouth is something that he has never seen before and hopes never to see again.  He is shaken to the core and when he discusses this finding with Amy, she doesn't seem like herself.  She's a bit on the sinister side.I loved this story.  It is well-crafted and flows well.  It's short enough to be read on a lunch break or coffee break.  A sinister little story to delight the mind.
