The Boy With the Razor-Sharp Teeth

5 out of 5

Every smile seemed dangerous with pointed teeth and bleeding gums. And with dark beady eyes and breath that could choke a mule, no one ever talked to the boy with razor-sharp teeth. His deformity was so evident his name became “The Boy With The Razor-Sharp Teeth.” Even Ms. Adams addressed him as such ever since the morning he first arrived during show and tell. Jimmy Wilson had just finished showing off his new wooden rubber band gun by flipping Jackie in the rear. Ms. Adams jerked the gun away from him as The Boy With the Razor-Sharp Teeth entered. I looked in the doorway and there was the hideous smile. Susie and Jenny screamed, Ms. Adams gasped, holding her chest. Jimmy Wilson looked up, shouted “What the F — ” before his jaw dropped.

Grim (Editor's) Notes

Overall (5 out of 5)
Prose (Writing) (5 out of 5)
Plot (The Story) (5 out of 5)
Most likely my favorite Kill story of all time. It walks that line from being surreal and absurd, but also scraping the scab of America’s growing problem with school violence. What sets this as classic-Kill is the sing-song rhyming dialogue towards the end of the story at the apex of the plot shift.

Patrick Kill
Patrick Kill specializes in writing the most absurd, iconoclastic humorous dark fiction around. At 6’1’’, he is the tallest midget on earth. He is a competitive eater…of children. He prefers footie pajamas with someone else’s feet in them. He fishes for dead bodies in drainage ditches during the day and traps for yeti at night. He is the most ridiculous man in the world. His favorite saying is: “I don’t always eat humans, but when I do, it’s dos Mexicanos. Stay evil, my friends.”
