Killing Adam, written by CementFeatheredBird

Title: Teeth Author: CementFeatheredBird Type: Original Fiction Genre: Thriller Rating: PG Small teeth, big teeth; I just want your teeth. When I was younger, I remember that a lot of my friends were afraid to go to the dentist. They would moan and complain whenever we had to go for our regular dental checkups in school. I thought it only happened during my primary school years, but I was wrong. Apparently, secondary school students feared the dentist as well. I couldn't understand why the dentist was much feared by children and teenagers alike, because I wasn't one to fall under that category. In fact, I was the complete opposite: I like being in the dentist's chair to have my teeth checked and polished. Teeth tells a story about a dentist who has an obsession with, well, teeth. He tends to pull out his patient's teeth without any purpose but to steal them. His patients are unaware of what he is doing but let him be since he's after all, a dentist. But there's a deep, dark secret as to why the dentist does that: he collects various sizes of teeth from his patients to make sets of dentures. However, those dentures are not for sale or for his other patients to use; those dentures are made for himself. When I came upon this story, I was pretty intrigued by the style of writing. CementFeatheredBird has writtenTeeth in a narrative voice and readers will definitely have a feel of reading a bedtime story to their younger siblings. Besides that, this story has a twisted sense of humor and I felt that the writer has done a good job in mixing both childlike fantasy with dark, chilling moments together. A short one-shot with seven hundred and fourteen words, Teeth is recommended for those who love reading Tim Burton's Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Stories. Bittersweet at its best. Special thanks goes out to everybody dies; and Answering.Alexandra. for the edits.
