Damn it, I think I may have swallowed a toothpick.
I got a shawarma from the Persian restaurant around the corner. When I got back to my desk and pulled the sandwich out of the bag I noticed that the cellophane covered toothpick tip was already out of the sandwich. I thought nothing of it and just started eating the sandwich. About halfway through I looked back at the bag and noticed that the toothpick was actually only half of a toothpick. I went into a small panic and I turned the pita around a few times looking for the toothpick hole. No luck. I think I’d already gone past.
I don’t think I ate the damn thing. I would have felt something poking around in there, no? Thing is, the shawarma usually has some hard bits that I’ve gotten used to ignoring or chewing for a long while. What the hell?! It’s possible that the guy only used half a toothpick, but that possibility isn’t really killing my fears. If I did eat it, I’m afraid of it perforating my system as it makes its journey. I mean, peristalsis is one might force, you know?
Well…I guess I’ll just give it a few days. If I’m not sent to the hospital, then everything will be alright.
