It was alarming to say in the least. His smirk grew into a sinister smile as he watched me reach into my back pocket. I froze. His teeth.They were deathly jagged, reminding me of the great white sharks Kaleb was always telling me about. These teeth were vile, disgusting, and terrifying, looking as if their only purpose was to tear things apart for tearing things apart sake.
