The Teeth of An Elder God by Abbi Normal

The Teeth of An Elder God

Abbi Normal

OK...so...I know the first question is going to be, "how did you get those teeth?" And the answer is, they're mine. I was at the dentist, and they x-rayed my jaw, and there's the roots of my teeth in straight little lines, except for my wisdom teeth. Their roots overlapped, twisted around each other, fused together. I looked up at the x-ray and thought to myself, "Gee, I'm no dentist, but that doesn't quite look right."

To make a long, unpleasant story short, they took out my wisdom teeth, and asked if I wanted to keep them (like I'm going to say no). They looked even worse in person, covered in blood and a bit of gum and just absolutely grisly. In fact, the word that came to mind was "eldritch".

I thought these things were just the coolest, and wanted to make an elaborate Lovecraft-themed box to keep them in. And here it is.

I got it plain wood form the dollar store, and painted it myself, then added a red "satin" holder for the teeth themselves, and to fill up space, fake-aged some paper with coffee and a lighter, then scribbled down famous related passages and phrases and symbols. On the bottom, I made an "aged" label that says, "Property of Miskatonic University".

...and I guess that about covers it.
